Tompkins-McCaw Library will be hosting a satellite broadcast of Dr. Robert Fullilove's keynote lecture of the 31st annual Minority Health Conference at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill on Friday, February 26 from 2 to 3:30 pm in room 2-010. In this lecture, Dr. Fullilove will explore the opportunities available through a return to the roots of old-fashioned community organizing. Through community organizing, we can construct interventions out of those efforts to develop solid, cohesive groups who can work effectively to deal with community issues. Organizing for collective efficacy should be a watchword for our efforts to eliminate health disparities.

Hidden Epidemic: Heart Disease in America
How can a seemingly healthy 44-year-old suddenly drop dead from a massive heart attack? His case is not unusual, as the 90-minute documentary explains. More than half of all people who die of heart disease succumb suddenly without warning--and the other half have the disease lurking in their bodies for many years before it strikes. There is no cure, but doctors are making remarkable discoveries about the disease: where it starts, how it occurs, and what that means for us. http://bit.ly/hiddenepidemic

Supersize Me
Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock embarks on a journey to find out if fast food is making Americans fat. For 30 days he can't eat or drink anything that isn't on McDonald's menu; he must eat three square meals a day, he must eat everything on the menu at least once, and supersize his meal if asked. He treks across the country interviewing a host of experts on fast food and a number of regular folk while downing McDonald's to try and find out why 37% of American are now overweight. Spurlock's grueling diet spirals him into a metamorphosis that will make you think twice about picking up another Big Mac. http://bit.ly/supersizme

Pandemic: Facing AIDS
Narrated by Elton John, Pandemic: Facing AIDS is a documentary series of five half-hour films by Rory Kennedy that takes a unique look at the worldwide AIDS epidemic. The dimensions of the AIDS pandemic are catastrophic. During the last 20 years, HIV/AIDS has spread across social, political and cultural barriers, affecting people in every corner of the globe. Experts predict that in ten years, 112 million people may be HIV-positive, yet it is a disease whose transmission is entirely preventable. http://bit.ly/facingaids

Struggling in Silence: Physician Depression and Suicide
Struggling in Silence conveys the impact of physician suicide on families, patients and communities through the stories of two physicians lost to suicide. It also shares the accounts of those living with mood disorders: a freshman medical student with depression and anxiety who considered dropping out, a surgeon diagnosed with depression who overcame stigmatizing attitudes and policies within his state and profession, and a prominent neurologist whose bipolar disorder introduced her to new areas of research and patient care. http://bit.ly/silentstruggle
