Desc: Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground: Directed by Caroline Stephenson. A day in the lives of residents of a small Southern town as they come face to face with the hidden HIV epidemic in their community. Some are aware of their positive status, and some are not, thus increasing the risk for all. The prevalence of racism and homophobia only make the problem worse. A trio of eighteen year olds may hold the key to breaking the cycle.
