Restaurant The Film Society of Lincoln Center presents a benefit screening of A Closer Walk (Robert Bilheimer, U.S., 2003; 85m) to commemorate World AIDS Day. A Closer Walk is the first film to provide a definitive portrayal of humankind’s confrontation with the global AIDS epidemic. Directed, written and produced by Oscar nominee Robert Bilheimer, and narrated by Glenn Close and Will Smith, the film explores the intricate relationship between health, dignity, and human rights while depicting harsh realities of AIDS. In A Closer Walk, incisive interviews with individuals from all walks of life, including the Dalai Lama, Kofi Annan, and Bono, combine with stories, portraits and vignettes of children, women, and men living with AIDS, and those caring for them, on four continents. The film celebrates human dignity, even as it bears witness to immense human suffering. Moving, thought-provoking, and ultimately inspiring, A Closer Walk raises fundamental questions about our responsibilities to one another, and tells us that if we act with compassion and conviction — if we walk the walk — then we can indeed put an end to the worst plague the world has ever known.

All tickets are $75 (includes the reception) — $65 of the ticket price is tax deductible and will be donated to TASO (The AIDS Service Organization), the largest indigenous non-governmental organization providing HIV/AIDS services in Uganda.
