Film ‘Unnatural Causes’ Next in Series
A documentary on what makes
us healthy or sick is behind a film
coming to the North Portland Li­
brary, 512 N. Killingsworth St., on
Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 5 p.m.
Unnatural Causes is the next
monthly installment o f the commu­
nity wide Multicultural Film Festi­
val in partnership with Jefferson
High School. The film explores the
glaring socio-economic and racial
inequities in health and searches for
their causes.
The U.S. spends more on health
care than any other industrialized
nation. Yetour life expectancy ranks
30th in the world. Infant mortality?
W e’re tied with Hungary, Poland
and Slovakia for next to last among
industrialized nations.
On average, poor Americans die
eight years before rich Americans,
while middle-class Americans die
almost three years sooner than rich
Americans.
Unnatural Causes looks at what’s
making us sick and investigates star­
tling new findings that suggest there
is much more to poor health than
bad habits, inadequate health care
or unlucky genes.
The public is welcome and ad­
mission is free.
