Entitled Rotary Family Health Days, the film follows the journey of two women: Me Maria, who now raises her grandchildren after the death of their parents, and Rotary member Marion Bunch, who advocates for AIDS prevention after losing her son. The 2015 Telly Awards presented Rotary Family Health Days with two awards in the categories of Online Video-Documentary and Online Video-Branded Content and Entertainment.

The South African Broadcasting Corporation screened the documentary throughout Africa after its release.
