we'll never meet childhood again
The struggle for equal rights—particularly the modest desire to live with a hope for tomorrow—is given a heartbreaking voice in We'll Never Meet Childhood Again. International support aided Romania in combating the effects of HIV during the 1990s, yet the country continues to struggle in caring for the ill and neglected. Through the NGO Health Aid Romania, willing couples adopt HIV-positive children—often four or more at a time—in an effort to give them the care, nourishment, medical attention and love they need if they're to have any hope of living through adulthood. A young death at the hands of the virus is an ever-present threat, making such altruistic actions and uninhibited love even more admirable. By deliberately interweaving specially recorded interview footage with archived home movies of these makeshift families, the filmmakers paint a moving portrayal of one society's forgotten souls.  Rob Humanick
