Find it on 3's video: 21 Icons- Zackie Achmat Promo for 1 December 2013

Photographer and filmmaker Adrian Steirn engages with Aids activist Zackie Achmat, who co-founded the Treatment Action Campaign and championed a fight that ensured that millions of South Africans got access to affordable anti-retrovirals. Achmat shares some of his toughest moments working in the campaign, but on a lighter note also reveals a penchant for dress design. 21 ICONS South Africa is an annual collection of photographs and short films of South Africans who have reached the pinnacle of achievement in their fields of endeavour. These men and women have been an inspiration through their extraordinary social contribution. It is not a definitive list and does not denote any ranking. The short film-series documents the conversations between Steirn as the photographer and filmmaker and the icons. Each short film provides insight into both the subject and photographer's creative approach to the portrait. The short film on Zackie Achmat is broadcast on Sunday, December the 01 2013, on SABC 3 at 18:57.
