Ekaj (2015)
A Sweet Film That Proves to Be Teflon-Tough
EKAJ is a bold and brilliant work that endeavors to provoke compassion and generate thoughtful dialogue around the growing problem of addiction and HIV infection among our current generation of LGBT homeless youth. As an editor for A&U America's AIDS Magazine I see and review a number of these types of films dealing with specifically with this issue. I myself live with HIV and have experienced several of the dilemmas of the films protagonists. Of note this film takes a refreshingly honest approach without any preachy, finger- wagging to its aim of engaging its at-risk audiences. Its talented, caring, creators are deeply committed to quelling this dilemma in a positive and affirming way. Congratulations to the makers Cati and Michael on all of the well-deserved notoriety on the International Independent Film Circuit for this quality piece of cinematic art.
