"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, and shows how the harsh realities of AIDS in the
world are an expression of the way the world really is. Incisive interviews
with individuals from all walks of life, including the Dalai Lana, Kofi Annan,
and Bono, combine with stories, portraits and men living with AIDS on four
continents. Breathtaking cinematography by Richard D, Young celebrates human
dignity even as it bears witness to immense human suffering." - back cover

"War, government policies and drought contributed to a massive famine that
killed millions of people in Russia in the early 1920's. The Mennonite
communities in southern Russia were not immune and thousands faced starvation.
In response, a number of Mennonite groups in Canada and the U.S. joined
together to form Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).
