Something Happened (Swedish: Någonting har hänt) is a Swedish film directed by Roy Andersson. The film was conceived as an educational film about AIDS, but raised controversy and was withdrawn. The film claims that HIV was developed in American military laboratories, and that its well-established African origin is a cover-up conspiracy by the Americans. Today the film is regarded as a significant step in the development of the style seen in the director's later and more acclaimed films.

Synopsis

Roy Andersson explore les ravages de l’épidémie du sida dans une succession de tableaux absurdes et glaçants.

L'Afrique n'est que mensonge. Avec obstination, les Africains refusent de voir la vérité en face. Le sida n'est pas une maladie inventée par les Blancs pour anéantir les Noirs. De plus,qui se cache derrière les interminables guerres fratricides qui détruisent le continent millénaire ? Les Blancs ou les Noirs eux-mêmes ? Ce film pose un regard sur cette Afrique qui refuse l'évidence. La parole, essence même de toutes les cultures du continent noir, est enfin libérée. Aujourd'hui elle est essentielle : question de vie ou de mort. L'Afrique se meurt du sida, des guerres, des maladies, de la misère. La question essentielle aujourd'hui est de savoir si l'Afrique se relèvera de ces fléaux comme elle a toujours su le faire.

"To Touch the Soul" follows California State University, Long Beach Professor Carlos Silveira, a Brazilian-born artist educator and social activist who recruits 27 American university students to join him in a pilot program that uses art to help impoverished Cambodian children affected by HIV/AIDS express their wishes and desires for their futures. As Carlos and the students grapple with the realities of a culture much different from their own, a language they don't understand, art projects that don't go as planned and a three-week deadline, they form a bond with the children. Through these young Cambodian mentors—all of them abandoned by society—the Americans empower their own social activism and learn the true meaning of kindness, selflessness, courage and community.

In Freedom Park, a squatter settlement in South Africa, a group of HIV-infected former sex-workers, created a network called Tapologo. They learned to nurse their community, transforming degradation into solidarity and squalor into hope. Catholic bishop Kevin Dowling participates in Tapologo, and raises doubts on the official doctrine of the Catholic Church regarding AIDS and sexuality in the African context.
