# "They're Trying to Kill Us" is a 2021 documentary that explores the intersections of food injustice, race, and health disparities significantly affecting communities of color.
The documentary delves into the following key topics:
- Food Injustice: It uncovers how systemic racism within the food industry significantly contributes to health disparities in marginalized communities.
- Health Disparities: The film highlights why people of color suffer from disproportionately higher rates of chronic diseases. It investigates how diet, poverty, and institutional racism affect the health and longevity of these communities.
- Interviews and Perspectives: The documentary features insights from various prominent figures across different sectors, including neuroscience, entertainment, sports, activism, and medicine. Notable contributors include musicians like Ne-Yo, Mýa, and medical professionals advocating for plant-based diets.
- Cultural Lens: It examines these issues through the lens of Hip Hop and urban culture, striving to present a narrative that resonates with the experiences of the communities it portrays
We previously showed this documentary at the Unitarian Universalist and it was well received, and we were asked to show it again.
Parkway United Church of Christ, Temple Emanuel Environmental Movement and Unitarian Universalist Fellowship are collaborating for the 2024 – 2025 MONTHLY ENVIRONMENTAL FILM/SPEAKER SERIES in the hosting of these films.
