Ashley Judd's World AIDS Day Doc
Ashley Judd, stepping back
a bit from the popcorn thrillers and romantic comedies that made her a
household name, has joined the ranks of celebrities using their
visibility to bring attention to the issues that matter.
She'll be lending her support to a documentary about HIV/AIDS called
India's Hidden Plague,
to
be aired on World AIDS Day, Dec. 1, on the National Geographic Channel
and via free VOD (video on demand) on several large cable systems nationwide.
As YouthAIDS Global Ambassador, Judd appears in the documentary and will
also join U2's Bono for a week-long bus tour across seven U.S. cities to
bring attention to the crisis of AIDS on the African continent.
Those romantic comedy roles will still be there when she gets back. |
