In commemoration of World Aids Day Friday December 1st, local production company Studio 327 Inc. will
be premiering a documentary: Hear Me Out: Life with HIV. The documentary features interviews with
persons in St. Kitts and Nevis living with HIV, sharing their stories and the challenges they encounter. The
documentary will air on new local TV channel TVC Channel 40 on The Cable on Friday December 1st at
8pm and online on the Studio 327 YouTube Channel. It will also air on TVC’s website: www.tvcplus.live.
Producer and Executive Producer of the documentary Gardenia Richardson, shares the inspiration behind
this project. “Having worked in the HIV field for 19 years, ‘Hear Me Out: Life with HIV’ is a passion
project close to my heart to humanize the experiences often overlooked,” she said. “This documentary is a
tribute and to the strengths of those living with HIV and to brave persons who came forward and were
willing to be a part of this,” she added.
Richardson hopes the documentary will challenge misconceptions in St. Kits and Nevis about HIV/AIDS.
“Ultimately my hope for ‘Hear Me Out’ is that it serves as a catalyst for change. I hope it challenges
misconceptions and help to break down some of the barriers and foster a more compassionate and informed
dialogue on HIV/AIDS,” Richardson said. She said this project stands as a testament of the individuals, who
she has had the privilege of working with over the years and she hopes it will honor their resilience and
courage.
