Between January 2002 and January 2005 CINOMADE organised several Interactive film projections followed by debates on HIV-Aids in 183 towns and villages of Burkina Faso. 91 hours'street interviews shot during these awareness campaigns resulted in a trilogy. The three films are based on extracts made in the dioula speaking area, each dealing with a different topic.

A matter of rubber illustrates the reluctance and taboo around the use of condom: lost of sensation, lack of trust, difficulty of use, "omission", shame, religious considerations, prejudice…
An incessant ping-pong between men and women, youth and elders, reveals that the use of the rubber is still far to be unanimous.
