Film Screening: Cooked: Survival by Zip Code

In collaboration with Chicago South Side Film Festival and Kartemquin Films, we present Cooked: Survival by Zip Code. Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand takes audiences from the deadly 1995 Chicago heat disaster deep into one of our nation’s biggest growth industries - Disaster Preparedness. Along the way she forges inextricable links between extreme weather, extreme disparity and the politics of 'disaster'; daring to ask: what if a zip code was just a routing number, and not a life-or-death sentence? Join us for a post-film discussion with Dr. Mildred Williamson , Dr. Linda Rae Murray, and a representative from Kartemquin Films.
