Description: | Part six of a seven-part, four-hour series, Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? In the Marshall Islands, local populations have been displaced from their traditional way of life by the American military presence and globalization. Now they must contend with the worst of the 'developing' and industrialized worlds: infectious diseases such as tuberculosis due to crowded living conditions, and extreme poverty and chronic disease stemming in part from the stress of dislocation and loss.For a discussion guide, handouts, etc, visit http://www.unnaturalcauses.org. |
