Hollywood Movie The Carrier 2011 Watch Online Trailer Review Cast And Crew
Storyline:
"The Carrier" tells the story of a grieving mother dealing with the loss of her philandering son. She discovers a secret that will profoundly influence her life, the lives around her, and ultimately a new understanding of her son.
Movie Plot Summary:
'The Carrier' is a feature-length documentary that tells the inspiring story of an HIV-positive and pregnant mother trying to protect her baby from being born with HIV/AIDS. The film follows a Zambian subsistence farmer named Mutinta who is part of a polygamous marriage where everyone is HIV-positive. With the dangerously high mortality rates for HIV-positive babies on her mind, Mutinta enrolls in an innovative public health program called Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT).
Movie Info:
Sober bordering on funereal, "The Carrier" is a painterly, poetic docu about a polygamous family in Zambia; the parents are HIV-positive, the women are pregnant and the situation is so dysfunctional that childbirth is a mixed blessing at best. It's hard to suggest what else helmer Maggie Betts might have done with a subject she clearly cares about. But the movie's unceasingly morbid tone is unlikely to get it much play, ill serving its attempts to raise awareness about Africa's AIDS crisis and ways to prevent infant HIV.
Using a surfeit of portraiture and a score too melodramatic for the film's overall aesthetic, Betts tells the story of Mutinta Mweemba, the second of the three wives of Abarcon Mweemba, a farmer in the village of Keemba and an easy villain. His wives -- who include Brenda, the first to die, and Matildah, the last to get tested -- do the work; Abarcon struts while sitting down. The family's a lost cause, so any dramatic tension is provided by the fate of Mutinta's unborn child, a reveal dragged out to the point of absurdity.
