SUMMARY:FILM SERIES: Cooked: Survival by Zip Code (2018, Judith Helfand, U.S., 7
6 min.)
DESCRIPTION:\nWhat is a &ldquo\;natural disaster&rdquo\;? While we often
blame fatalities on weather and acts of God\, the truth is people&rsquo
\;s risk from disasters isn&rsquo\;t natural at all but determined by fa
ctors entirely within society&rsquo\;s control. In this witty\, incisive
\, and personal journey through the aftermath of the Chicago heat wave o
f 1995 that killed more than 750 people\, Judith Helfand fearlessly chal
lenges the disaster preparedness industry and government leaders to admi
t that the real disasters we need to address first are those of &ldquo\;
slow violence&rdquo\; &ndash\; like poverty\, racial discrimination\, an
d lack of opportunity. \;Filmmaker is scheduled to be in attendance
for a post-film discussion. For more information visit: \;https://in
