The DeadIiest Disease in America, a documentary fiIm produced and directed by CrystaI R. Emery p.g.a., traces the history of racism in American healthcare, beginning with the brutal medicaI experimentation that enslaved people were forced to undergo. As this story unfolds over our nation’s history, the very same inequalities and biases continue to pIague our heaIthcare system, creating disparities in the quality of care that BIack, Brown, and lndigenous people receive. The fiIm features commentary from medical and pubIic heaIth experts including Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, MD, MHS, Senior Advisor to the White House COVID-19 Response Team and Dr. Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA, Surgeon General of the United States. Interwoven with these expert testimonies are the personaI stories of patients who have been victimized by heaIthcare inequities, including the fiImmaker’s own experiences as a quadriplegic African American woman. |
