Unity Dow, human rights activist and judge, and Max Essex, Harvard University's Professor of Health Sciences, discuss the AIDS crisis in Botswana and their book "Saturday Is for Funerals." Presented by Harvard Book Store. Dow and Essex tell the story of lives ravaged by AIDS -- of orphans, bereaved parents, and widows; of families who devote most Saturdays to the burial of relatives and friends. They portray the actions of community leaders, medical professionals, research scientists, and the educators of all types to show how an unprecedented epidemic of death and destruction is being stopped in its tracks.
