Crossroads - The Last Plague

Crossroads is on the verge of extinction by Aids. The disease has wiped out most able-bodied inhabitants, leaving behind orphans and old people. There seems to be no hope except in Janet, the lone community health volunteer. She has made it her mission to speak out against the habits, the customs and the ignorance that have made it difficult to effectively control the spreading of the plague. Crossroads examines the conflicts between the old and the new and between the traditional and the modern. It is also about the relationship between men and women as, with alacrity and humour, the writer tells the story of one compassionate woman and her determination to save her male-dominated community from Aids. Crossroads turns a critical spotlight on a community facing difficult choices.
