The AIDS disaster ravaging South Africa has caused the disappearance of an entire generation of women and all their experiences. The South African authorities’ attitude, or lack of one, to this humanitarian crisis is comparable to outright genocide, Pieter-Dirk Uys claims and embarks upon a self-financed information campaign that targets school children.

Darling! The Pieter-Dirk Uys Story provides an insight into Uy’s life as a comedian and provocateur. Using humour and satire as his weapon, he has tried to counteract the silence and paralysing fear that mark the debate about the two most devastating viruses that have hit South Africa. In drag, as his alter ego Evita Bezuidenhouts, he has for years delivered telling and politically incorrect satire about Apartheid and AIDS. beg

Jeg anbefaler filmen. Jeg sa programmet hans "Foreign AIDS" i Berlin i Januar 2006 . Fantastisk humor... det var den første gangen at jeg knekket sammen av latter om AIDS. Jeg vil aldri glemme imitasjonen hans av Nelson Mandela og Desmond Tutu...eller han som Evita Bezuidenhout. Uforlignelig...
