Journalist Sophie Pinkham speaks about her reporting on the work of AIDS activists in eastern Ukraine—in particular a group from Svitanok ("Dawn" in Ukrainian), an organization founded by former drug users and people living with HIV. Pinkham discusses how the war and the take-over by pro-Russian separatists have affected both HIV treatment and policy in the region.
