The ITF film, Highway of Hope, which runs for half an hour, focuses on the principal transport corridor through East Africa, running through Malawi and into southern Africa. The corridor has recently gained notoriety as a main route of HIV/AIDS transmission. Highlighting the seriousness of the HIV/AIDS crisis affecting truck drivers on the highway to Uganda and Kenya, the film also demonstrates how ITF campaigns are helping to combat the spread of the infection. Although the film focuses on Africa, it emphasises the point that this is a global problem.
