The
Unnatural Causes video series was the focus of a discussion group
that gathered at the Heritage Park visitors' center at Battleship Cove
on March 4, 2009. Organized by the
Access to Healthcare Task Force of
Partners for a Healthier Community,
Inc., the program featured an airing of the first of seven video
programs produced by California Newsreel
in association with Vital Pictures. The series has been presented on PBS
television over the past year by the National Minority Consortia. It
was conceived in association with leading public health, policy and
community-based organizations and is helping reframe the national debate
about what we as a society can, and should, do to address our glaring
health inequities. Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino has described the
videos as “An eye-opening series everyone should watch and discuss. It
reveals the links between living conditions, public policy and health. A powerful and long-awaited resource.” For more information about the
series, contact Director of
Community Relations and
Development
Paula Harrison at
