Asmaa

أسماء (Hend Sabry) is a woman in Egypt who has HIV, and she refuses to let it end her life, spending her energy on staying well and on giving other patients a little hope. She keeps her status secret, until a television talk show offers her the chance to speak on camera. Amr Salama holds on Hend Sabry's face as she weighs the invitation, the studio's lights and cameras waiting on her answer.
