Interviews with top scholars in public health, sociology, childhood development and more - created during production of the acclaimed documentary UNNATURAL CAUSES: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? - are now available as edited podcasts. UNNATURAL CAUSES is a series about health, but it's not about doctors or drugs. Instead, the film crisscrosses the country to find stories and evidence of the underlying social conditions that shape who gets sick in the first place. Produced by California Newsreel with Vital Pictures, this four-hour documentary series, broadcast nationally on PBS, explores what we can - and should - do about racial and socioeconomic inequities in health. New episodes will be available every other week.
