Screening of “Place Matters” in the Hattie Carthan Outdoor Theatre

Join us for organic popcorn and a screening of award winning documentary "Place Matters" at the Hattie Carthan Outdoor Theatre.

 “Place Matters”: Why is your street address such a good predictor of your health? Latino and Southeast Asian immigrants like Gwai Boonkeut have been moving into long-neglected urban neighborhoods such as those in Richmond, a city in the San Francisco Bay Area. Segregation and lack of access to jobs, nutritious foods, and safe, affordable housing have been harmful to the health of long-time African American residents, and now the newcomers' health is suffering too.

 “Place Matters” part of UNNATURAL CAUSES, the acclaimed documentary series broadcast by PBS and now used by thousands of organizations around the country to tackle the root causes of our alarming socio-economic and racial inequities in health.
