FILM DESCRIPTION, from mfa.org film Web site:
"Today the Hawk Takes One Chick by Jane Gillooly (2007, 72 min.).

"In Swaziland, in southern Africa, the circle of life has been turned on its head. Grandmothers—or Gogos—are forced to watch their adult children die of AIDS, and to raise their many grandchildren on their own.

"Today the Hawk Takes One Chick follows three Gogos living in a society at the threshold of collapse.

"The women organize their communities to create nurturing lives for these orphans, at an age when they expected their adult children to be taking care of them.

"Gillooly’s direction shines light on the individual suffering and perseverance of those affected by AIDS, inviting the audience to experience a world where HIV affects everyone.

"Discussion with director Jane Gillooly follows screening. "
