MERCY (360G-Wellcome-203018_Z_16_Z)
Set in Nairobi in the recent past, MERCY tells the story of two very different women: ANNA, a journalist, who is fast succumbing to the pain of Africa. Drinking excessively, keeping two lovers, missing deadlines, Anna is hell-bent on self-annihilation when MERCY persuades Anna to give her a job as a house-girl. Mercy is a powerhouse, with a fierce wit and strong intelligence. Their push-me, pull-you friendship forms the core of this emotionally powerful story as we plunge into HIV/AIDS in Africa, the formidable challenges faced by medics, scientists and aid workers and the policies and attitudes of western governments.
