This is wonderful! Two questions:
1) How can we get the film to the US?
2) I already donate to MSF. Is there any way to donate directly to the football club so they can get equipment and funds for other necessities?
Hi Lena,
Thank you for your interest and for already supporting MSF!
I will find out from the US MSF office about showings of the movie in the US and let you know. I will also inquire about direct donations of equipment.
Thank you again for your interest,
Joanna
The Well Project (http://www.thewellproject.org) is a global resource for women living with HIV, as well as their care providers and their caregivers. We were very inspired by this story as well, and have posted it on our homepage of our website as well as on our blog for HIV+ women entitled, “A Girl Like Me” (www.girllikeme.org) in hopes of spreading the news around the world of these strong women. Please keep us posted of future viewings of the movie so we may share this information with our readers.
Dear Ms. Martel,
I have visited your website and it looks like you do amazing work. Thank you so much for including a mention of the movie in your website. I hope that people seeing the movie will be inspired and empowered by the examples of the women football players portrayed. They are certainly my heroines! I will certainly keep you updated about where the movie will be shown in the future.
Thank you again,
Joanna
Please bring this movie to the United States!
Please bring the movie to Singapore. Thanks
Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for writting in!
Singapore falls under the MSF Hong Kong office so they will be the office organizing screenings and events for the movie. If you want you can contact them directly (please go to their website: http://www.msf.org.hk/public/main2) or check on their page for future listings.
Thank you for your interest in the movie!

Very inspiring…plays a major role in empowering the HIV+ girls while helping the whole community to de-stigmatize and be more compassionate. Good work.
To the Positive Ladies, As a fellow female soccer player I want to tell you that you are serving a wonderful cause. You are showing the world that people with HIV are human beings, and showing those who find themselves in similar circumstances that they too can live healthy, full, happy lives. I am inspired by your courage, strength of character and physical drive. Wishing you all the best. I will certainly look out for your film when it come to Australia.
Dear Dorianne,
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I will send on your letter to the ladies. They do not have internet, or even electricity in most of their households, and do not understand English; but my assistant in the film who is Zimbabwean visits them about every week so she takes letters to them and translates. They love to get letters so it will be a treat for them to receive your words. Thanks again.
For screenings of the film in Australia please visit MSF Australia website (www.msf.org.au) or write to them through their Contact link.
Thank you again for your interest in the ladies and keep spreading the positive message!

Can we arrange for the film to be shown for a benefit in our community in Houston Texas.? Can we help raise money for the community somehow including a showing of the film. We have a huge community here that would be supportive from a number of different views-soccer clubs, women’s groups, HIV awareness groups. Please let me know.
thank you.
