Hello!!

   Here is some information about videotapes that an Organization
I work with produced in the last couple years.


From their brochure avaiable by calling 1-800-633-7445 or by writing
to the address below.

AIDS or Eighty-Something? is designed to impress on teens that they
are indeed vulnerable to AIDS, but that they can lead normal, healthy 
lives if they understand precisely how the HIV virus is and is not
communicated.  The issues are discussed frankly, so teens can decide
how they want to live and make those decisions based on facts.

and adult groups.)

Changing Focus: Women, Children and AIDS examines the unique problems
of women with AIDS, in which inadequate healthcare, poverty and
misdiagnosis contribute to the often overwhelming problems of
women, who also have children to care for, living with AIDS.  In 
addition, 30% to 50% of the babies born to HIV positive women
will develop AIDS, contributing to the tragedy of boarder babies.

Safetalk: Parents and Teachers Discuss AIDS recognizes that parents and
teachers are the gatekeepers to our youth.  Keeping this in mind, Safetalk
gathers experts on HIV infection and human sexuality, persons with AIDS
and parents of children with AIDS from across the country to assist parents
and teachers with the important task of teaching our youth how to protect 
themselves against the deadly AIDS virus.

Sexual Orientation: Reading Between the Labels focuses on issues facing
gay and lesbian youth and is designed to help build respect between
individuals of divergent sexual orientation.  Ignorance about
homosexuality has contributed to a climate of fear, isolation, 
discrimination and violence toward those perceived as homosexual.  Rather
than relying solely on testimony from professionals, Sexual Orientation:
Reading Between the Labels provides a forum for gay and lesbian teens
to speak of their concerns.

_This video is powerful, positive, and open in its approach._

(You might have seen this on National Public Television.  Many of NEWIST's
videos are picked for National showing.  Also some of the teens were
from Horizon in Chicago.)

Also there is a new video in the making.  It is tentatively entitled...
Hate, Homophobia and School.  The taping took place May 6th, 1995 and
will probably be released and show on Wisconsin Public TV sometime
next Fall.  It will again discuss being a gay or lesbain teen, but also
look at the climate in the schools.  

All the videos are available for purchase ($195) or rental ($50).  Rental
can apply to purchase if you like a video.
