Nat Geo Most Amazing Moment of the Week: Ashley Judd's Work as Global Ambassador for Youth AIDS
November 29, 2007
“As the Global Ambassador for Youth AIDS, it is my mission to see how HIV is moving into the general population, to confront the unique risks faced by India’s girls and women and to help turn the tide in the war against HIV/AIDS, a war where awareness and a willingness to act truly make the difference between life and death for millions.” - Ashley Judd
On Friday, November 30, at 10 p.m. ET/PT — on the eve of World AIDS Day — the National Geographic Channel travels to India with actress and activist Ashley Judd to examine this growing epidemic in the world premiere film India’s Hidden Plague. The film explores the rapid spread of HIV in India and the vulnerability of men, women and children to this disease as Judd puts an emotional face on this tragic struggle.
