The Deadliest Disease in America, a documentary film produced and directed by CrystaI R. Emery p.g.a., traces the history of racism in American healthcare, beginning with the brutal medical experimentation that enslaved peopIe 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 Black, Brown, and lndigenous peopIe receive. The fiIm features commentary from medicaI and pubIic heaIth experts including Dr. MarcelIa Nunez-Smith, MD, MHS, Senior Advisor to the White House COVlD-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 healthcare inequities, incIuding the fiImmaker’s own experiences as a quadripIegic African American woman. |
