The gala screening at the AIDS Conference will have producer Singh, director Darrell James Rood and its lead star, Leleti Khumalo in attendance.
'Yesterday' is a moving story of a young mother named Yesterday who falls ill and discovers that she is HIV positive. Her husband, a migrant mineworker, refuses to accept this. Yesterday is left to fend for herself and her young daughter, Beauty, hoping that she will survive long enough to see her child go to school.
Apart from being the first-ever isiZulu feature film, Yesterday is also the first feature film to have the support of the Nelson Mandela Foundation which will use the film as a resource in its Social Development Programme, specially its HIV/AIDS and Education focus areas which will be able to allow communities and cultures to interact with the film and engage with the complex set of circumstances it presents.
Yesterday is a Videovision Entertainment production in association with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, M-Net, The National Film And Video Foundation, Distant Horizon and Exciting Films.
