SYNOPSIS

As a college sophomore, Tangy Major was having the time of her life…until she made one irreversible mistake.

This award-winning documentary short film chronicles the true story of Tangy Major, a young woman, who in the ’80s unknowingly contracted HIV from her boyfriend, became pregnant, and transmitted the virus to her baby. Seven months after giving birth, she buried her son. Seven years later she buried the man who became her husband. Tangy was HIV positive, widowed, and childless all before the age of 30. HIV/AIDS had taken almost everything she had–but it couldn’t take her faith in God and her ability to glorify him through song. Tangy’s Song! is a compelling and compassionate film that moves from tragedy to triumph–and from fear to faith–as one young HIV positive woman shares more than just her story. She shares her song!
