Storyline
Coming from a country
like India that is still in denial, where being HIV+ is still a curse,
'68 Pages' rips open the underbelly of its society to reveal how it
stigmatizes and shuns those who are HIV+ or even those who just want to
be what they are. Through 68 Pages of a counselors diary, we see the
stories of Paayal, a sex worker; Nishit, an ID user; Kiran, a gay man
and Umrao, a transsexual bar dancer - their stories of pain and fear,
humiliation and rejection - not only by the society, but even by their
loved ones. While these stories expose the shallowness of the system, it
also offers hope and healing by trying to bring about a better
understanding of their fight to live with dignity. The film is a tribute
to the human spirit of optimism and survival.

68 Pages is a 2007 Indian film about an HIV/AIDS counselor and five of her clients who are from marginalized communities. The film is directed by Sridhar Rangayan and produced by Humsafar Trust in association with Solaris Pictures. It had its world premiere at the International Film Festival of Kerala and screened at several international film festivals.

It was made as an advocacy effort to support the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) in National AIDS Control Programme, Phase III. This initiative decided that the female sex workers, intravenous drug users, homosexuals and transgender people will be considered core groups, and HIV projects will start at a rapid pace in the next five years to serve them. During that period the film is scheduled to screen throughout the country in an attempt to change people's attitudes about those living with HIV. The film has also been mandatory resource material for all counselor training programmes in India by NACO.
Her writing tells the stories of Paayal, a commercial sex worker; Nishit, an intravenous drug user; Kiran, a gay man; and Umrao, a transsexual bar dancer, who are marginalized and suffer discrimination both before and after becoming infected with HIV.
