WE ARE ALL HEROES: Short film celebrates community heroes and 20 years of PEPFAR global impact

12 heroes who have made incredible contributions in the fight against HIV are celebrated in the short film, We Are All Heroes: The story of the PEPFAR Heroes in Zimbabwe.

The film’s release coincides with PEPFAR’s 20th Anniversary in 2023 and looks back at two decades of impact and partnerships in the response to HIV. The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history.

The short film recounts how 20 years ago, HIV was devastating Zimbabwe, but today that has changed and people living with HIV are living long and healthy lives thanks to treatment, contributions from donors, governments, communities and individuals like the PEPFAR Heroes.

Tatenda Makoni, director of ZNNP+, reminds us that while we may be recognizing just 12 individuals in the film, there are heroes in every community. “If you want to see your heroes, you look around your community and there are so many people who continue to push for people living with HIV to enjoy their rights to the fullest and we recognize them.”
