On World AIDS Day, Friday, Dec. 1, a film showing how HIV/AIDS affects African children will be featured on 40,000 flights on 34 air carriers. The 2003 film "Beat the Drum" is expected to raise $300,000 for African charities, said Bill Grant, president of Entertainment in Motion, which licensed the film to the airlines. The film tells a story of an AIDS orphan traveling to Johannesburg with his father's last gift, a tribal drum. Airlines carrying the film, which will be shown through December, include American, Delta, United, British Airways, Lufthansa and Air Canada.
