The movie "Beat The Drum" was one of the best films that we have seen in a long time. It told a story that touched your heart with what is really happening in Africa with the AIDS killing so many people everyday and leaving the children alone and all by themselves to survive in this world. It made you feel happy and sad at the same time. Sad with what the AIDS is doing to the people in Africa and the people dieing for lack of knowledge and happy because films like "Beat The Drum" is telling the real story, making people aware. This film can be used to bring such an awareness to all of the millions of people with AIDS and truly change Africa. It was a Great Movie!
