Powerful films from 5 young people: What health inequality looks like in the US
By Michael Painter. For some of us, it’s easy to choose to be healthy. We can’t control whether disease or accidents strike, but we can decide where we live and what we eat, as well as if, when and how much we’ll exercise.
