Dinner & a Movie: Collateral Damage
When: Thursday, April 26, 6:30 p.m.
Where: Ann Arbor Community Center, 625 N. Main St., Ann Arbor.
Join ICPJ’s Racial and Economic Justice Task Force on Thursday, April 26 for the next installment of our “Dinner and a Movie” series.
This moth we screen “Collateral Damage: Bad Medicine in Tennessee.” In 2005, when Governor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee announced he would reform his state’s Medicaid program, people took him at his word. Little did they know that Bredesen’s idea of reform meant cutting 190,000 people off the program almost overnight. The sickest, neediest people were denied medical care while the nation sat by and watched, and the Governor boasted to other heads of states about his success reigning in the rising cost of health care. This intense, moving film exposes the injustice that occurred in Tennessee and its implications for Medicaid cuts nationwide.
Dinner begins at 6:30, movie at 7:00, followed by a community discussion.
Free and open to the public. Feel free to bring a dish to share (but it is not required)
