SUMMARY:Georgetown Green Film Series: COOKED
DESCRIPTION:Huston–Tillotson University and Southwestern University present a virtual screening of “COOKED” followed by a Q&A discussion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn COOKED: Survival By Zip Code\, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand uses her signature serious-yet-quirky connect-the-dots style to take audiences from the deadly 1995 Chicago heat wave — in which 739 mostly black\, elderly\, and poor Chicagoans died during the course of one week– deep into one of our nation’s biggest growth industries: disaster preparedness. Along the way\, Helfand forges inextricable links between extreme weather\, extreme disparity\, and extreme racism\, daring to ask: what if a zip code was just a routing number and not a life-or-death sentence? \nThe schedule of the online event is as follows: \n\n6:00 pm CT – Film Screening\n8:00 pm CT – Panel Discussion\n\nYou must RSVP to receive the links to watch the film and panel. COOKED is 81 minutes long. To ensure you finish the film in time for the panel\, please start the film no later than 6:30 pm CT. \nPanelists: \n\nJudith Helfand\, Director and Producer of COOKED. Judith is an award-winning filmmaker\, educator\, field-explorer\, and social entrepreneur. She co-founded Working Films\, a national leader in linking non-fiction filmmaking to cutting edge activism. She has taught documentary filmmaking at NYU and the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

Her passion for environmental justice paired with the national social justice momentum in summer 2020 inspired her group capstone project: “Climate Vulnerability in a Carceral State.”\n\nThe Georgetown Green Film Series was established by the Southwestern University Office of Sustainability to bring awareness to the environmental crisis through the visual arts by presenting films with an environmental focus for free to Georgetown and neighboring communities. In addition to showing an environmental film\, a panel of experts is invited to lead a proactive discussion with the audience about the topic at hand. \nThis event was made possible through a City of Georgetown Arts & Culture Board grant and Southwestern University’ Diversity Enrichment Fund.
