PAFF 2023 Best Documentary Short - Nominee Set in this time of COVID-19, female doctors illuminate the toll that caring for others takes on their roles as mothers and wives, and their desire to be seen for who they are: talented doctors and ordinary people.

I Am Not Your Hero

Set in this time of COVID-19, female doctors illuminate the toll that caring for others takes on their roles as mothers and wives, and their desire to be seen for who they are: talented doctors and ordinary people.

Twenty years ago, Phelgone Jacks was fired from her job as a schoolteacher because of her HIV status. Many children were also barred from schools due to HIV stigma, so Phelgone began teaching them under her own roof. Eventually, she built an Early Childhood Development center and founded a community-based organization combating HIV/AIDS and gender-based violence in the slum of Manyatta. Mama of Manyatta closely follows Phelgone in action, serving as a mother figure to Manyatta’s young and old.

Mama of Manyatta

An inspirational look into the heart of an extraordinary woman who, every day, sets out to vitally transform the lives of her fellow community members living with HIV in a slum in Kisumu, Kenya.
