UNNATURAL CAUSES | CALIFORNIA NEWSREEL

This four-hour documentary series premiered nationally on PBS in Spring 2008, and will be rebroadcast Fridays at 10pm, October 9 through 30. Produced by California Newsreel in association with Vital Pictures, Inc. Presented by the National Minority Consortia of public television Public Impact Campaign in association with the Joint Center Health Policy Institute. Unnatural Causes, a seven-part series now available on DVD, sounds the alarm about our glaring socio-economic and racial disparities in health--and seeks out root causes. But those causes are not what we might expect. While we pour more and more money into drugs, dietary supplements and new medical technologies, it turns out there is much more to our health than bad habits, health care or unlucky genes. The social conditions in which we are born, live and work profoundly affect our well-being and longevity.
