By following the lives of several orphans, the film lays bare the
complicated relationship between poverty, violence, disease,
Christianity, tradition and the orphan crisis in Sub-Saharan
Africa.
Orphans of Mathare brings new urgency to dealing with the
AIDS pandemic, as it reveals that global AIDS is not simply a
medical crisis but a socio-cultural one as well that threatens to
create a generation of children without parents.
The film encourages Western audiences to ask questions of
themselves regarding their role in dealing with this global
problem.
