The International AIDS Society, IAS, assigned to the Face of AIDS Foundation to document major keynote speakers and events during the XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City, between August 3-8, 2008. The Face of AIDS sent two film teams to the Mexico City AIDS Conference, and they worked around the clock. The result is 35 hours of unedited film material, covering all aspects of the AIDS conference. The Face of AIDS started to upload web films from Mexico City in November 2008 and will continue to do so during the coming months.
