In Freedom Park, a squatter settlement in South Africa, a group of HIV-infected former sex-workers create a network called Tapologo. They become home based carers for their community, transforming degradation into solidarity and squalor into hope. Catholic Bishop Kevin Dowling participates in Tapologo, raising doubts on the official doctrine of the Catholic Church, regarding AIDS and sexuality, in the African context.
