One result of the Provisio Leyden Council for Community Action summer program was a short film titled "I Want 2 Live". The film was written, shot, and produced by teens in PLCCA's All Stars mentoring program.

"The film starts out with information on how HIV/AIDS is spread, including through sexual contact, the sharing of needles and blood transfusions. To the sounds of an ambulance siren wailing in the background, teens in the film explain the side effects of the disease for which there is no cure."

The film goes on to tout abstinence as the only "fool-proof" way to avoid infection, but acknowledges that using condoms is also important for those who can't, or don't want to, "resist temptation." Read more at PioneerLocal.com.
