TEMPO
Launches Interactive Scripted Series Choices - Roots,
Reality, Culture. |
Series to
Educate and Empower Young People Regarding Sexual Health,
and HIV/AIDS Awareness & Prevention in Partnership with PSI,
MTV Staying Alive, and UNICEF
June 19, 2007: Rising rates of HIV infections amongst
Caribbean youth, spurred TEMPO, PSI, MTV Staying Alive and
UNICEF to launch a new interactive drama titled Choices -
Roots, Reality, Culture to air on TEMPO beginning June 21,
2007. Part of TEMPO's One Love pro-social initiative,
Choices, - Roots, Reality, Culture is a ground breaking
interactive scripted series of shorts. The scripted project
takes viewers into the world of a group of young people who
meet at Trinidad Carnival and become fast friends during a
pure Caribbean adventure. As their stories unfold,
characters traverse issues surrounding sexual health,
pregnancy, impaired decision-making due to
alcohol consumption, HIV/AIDS testing, trust, and peer
pressure. At the conclusion of each episode the audience
will have the opportunity to vote to decide on the choices
faced by an individual character. Choices - Roots, Reality,
Culture will be complimented by a weekly online blog and
articles written by an advisory panel of youth health
experts, artists, educators, and HIV/AIDS awareness and
prevention experts. |
