Stand Like Still Living is short, it’s lyrical, it’s bittersweet, it’s full of life–and death. Above all, just like the lives it touches, it is sparingly beautiful. Set in a San village in western Botswana, Stand Like Still Living follows the lives of two people affected by AIDS. A day laborer waits for his test results and battles a deepening existential crisis; a woman must overcome her alcoholism and try to imagine a possible future for her newborn baby whose status is still unknown. Stand Like Still Living achieves a rare feat: to capture the rhythms of two human beings standing on that precarious yet luminous doorway between life and death.  RD
