Tiim is a documentary on street-sold medicines.
It explores the attitudes of providers and consumers in the Ouahigouya area of Burkina Faso.
Their frank and spontaneous reactions highlight the complexity of the issue; their motivation, beliefs and questions provide a revealing insight into existing sales techniques, the success of street vendors, the popularity of doping substances, the lack of knowledge of generic drugs…
Aids Palaver treats of HIV, which is always delicate in the countryside as well as in town: a divine curse, a shameful disease that comes from elsewhere…. The beliefs and reactions of the people in the film evoke their fear of the disease and their reluctance to be tested.
