KCET EARTH FOCUS PRESENTS - DOUBLE FEATURE
WE ARE WHERE WE LIVE
In the United States, health and longevity are more often determined by zip code than by genetic code. Following both the patients and doctors of a local community health organization, this episode exposes the socio-environmental determinants of health in the primarily Latino city of South Gate, California.
Immediately following the screening, a pre-recorded conversation with director and executive producer, Nicky Milne, and director and producer Valeria Cardi, and the subjects of the film, Michael Granados, MD, family medicine, AltaMed Medical Group-South Gate, and Ana Karina Melgar MD, family medicine, AltaMed Medical Group-South Gate. Moderated by Jon Christensen, Executive Producer of Earth Focus, and UCLA professor at the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, Luskin Center for Innovation, and Center for Digital Humanities.
FOR THE LOVE OF THE LAND
Discussing mental health has historically been taboo in rural communities where a mythology of pioneering, rugged individualism and self-reliance has prevailed. As climate change pushes farmers, homesteaders and herders to the edge, this film pierces the mental health taboo through personal, poignant stories of struggle, resilience, and hope.
