...Alisha Saleem, 20, was born too early to benefit from the newest antiretroviral (ARV) drugs. In fact, there weren't any HIV treatments for adults, much less children, in 1986. Saleem, who contracted the virus from her mother, an intravenous-drug user, was 4 when she took her first AIDS drug, and even then the only option she had was AZT. Today doctors know that the best way to fight the virus is to hit it with three drugs at once, one of which is preferably a protease inhibitor. But early patients like Saleem had to learn the hard...
Tearra Daniels, 13, was luckier. Like Saleem, she was infected at birth by her mother, a crack addict who was later murdered. Placed with foster parents the day after she was born, Daniels was 3 when she became one of the first 70 children in the U.S. to test a protease inhibitor. Even in the brief span of her lifetime, Daniels has watched pediatric-AIDS treatments improve significantly. When she was an infant, her adoptive mother Maryann had to wake her up at 4 a.m. to administer the first of four daily doses. Today the blond, blue-eyed girl...

As Lucas noted, though, he wrote the original story 30 years ago, when another American military engagement was in the news, and the leader's name was not Bush, but Nixon. The only competition film explicitly about U.S. foreign policy, Hiner Saleem's Kilometre Zero, presents Iraq's sorry history from an anti-Saddam, pro-U.S. viewpoint and ends in April 2003 with its Kurdish hero exulting as coalition soldiers march into Baghdad. (One critic called the film "insufficiently anti-American.") There was also a British documentary, Adam Curtis' The Power of Nightmares...
...some observers, the list of 20 films in competition this year for the Palme d'Or - the Golden Palm, Cannes' top prize - may represent the second rank of world directors. The names Michael Haneke and Hiner Saleem, Hou Hsaio-hsien and Wang Xiaoshuai, the Dardenne brothers and the Larrieu brothers, may not light up the marquee in your movie awareness. The prospect a new Lars von Trier (Manderlay, with Bryce Dallas Howard, Willem Dafoe and Danny Glover) may make you squirm...
