The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Quiet Storm [Film]

0 comments
"Quiet Storm" is a film celebrating the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in South and North East Asia. The film aims to pay tribute to the "indomitable will of millions of people living with HIV/AIDS, who fight stigma and discrimination on their own terms and lead the campaign against the HIV/AIDS epidemic from the forefront."

The film has been produced by UNDP Regional HIV and Development Programme for South and North East Asia, in partnership with the Asia Pacific Network of PLWHA (APN+) and Indian Network for PLWHA (INP+), as an advocacy tool for issues faced by PLWHA in the region. It is the movie version of a photographic book with the same title released last year.

The "Quiet Storm" film is available in English, Bahasa, Hindi, Chinese, Khmer, Korean, Mongolian, Nepali, Thai, Japanese and Urdu. Bangla and Vietnamese versions will be released shortly. In addition, an original Chinese version, featuring people living with HIV/AIDS in China, is also available.

As of October 11 2004, the film must be downloaded in order to be viewed; the movie is in Flash format and is approximately 21 MB.
