Dr. Mehret Mandefro, a young doctor in the South Bronx embarks on a research project to find out why black women are becoming infected with HIV at alarming rates. She takes us into the lives and relationship histories of her black, female patients to find out what social factors are putting them at risk. When she expands her research to include women across boundaries of race, class and country, she discovers a dangerous power imbalance that all heterosexual women face in the bedroom, but rarely discuss. ALL OF US is about HIV/AIDS but it is not a tragedy. It is a story of resilience, courage and activism.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with Director, Emily Abt. The discussion is facilitated by Women Organized Respond to Life Threatening Disease. The "All of Us" screening is sponsored by Gil Gerald & Associates
