Why Black people mistrust US medicine
#video #USA
For centuries, the US medical system has been failing to serve people of colour. Their needs were systematically ignored, they were dehumanised and even used as test subjects without their informed consent.
Even now, studies still reveal that there are still misconceptions and false beliefs concerning people of colour even among medics and they are often discriminated against when getting medical care. This is why a visit to a doctor seems more like a problem than a solution to them.
When Sandra Lindsay, a Black nurse from New York, became the first American to receive the COVID vaccine, she said her intention was to set an example for other people of colour and restore their faith in medicine at least to some degree. Her act might have had an effect, but there is still a long way until Black people will feel safe in a doctor’s office.

American dancer and choreographer Anna Halprin believed dance could be used as a healing tool. She thought a patient should embrace their sickness and work through psychological wounds. So when she was diagnosed with cancer, she used dance as part of her healing process. At the height of the AIDS epidemic in the US, Halprin created dance programmes for men and women with HIV/AIDS.
Here’s a fragment from our documentary about Anna Halprin’s dance therapy to mark World AIDS Day that took place this week.

Devonia Inman walked out of prison this week having served 23 years for a murder he didn’t commit. Devonia was 20 when he was sentenced to life without parole for the murder of Donna Brown, a Taco Bell night manager. She was killed in the restaurant’s parking lot and robbed of $1,732.
No physical evidence linked Devonia to the murder. Three of four witnesses in his trial eventually recounted their testimony. Devonia always maintained his innocence. Years after the trial, new DNA evidence in the case surfaced. This year Devonia was given a new trial.
His story is similar to that of Jerome Morgan who spent 20 years in the notorious Angola Prison after a false conviction. RT Documentary made a series about Americans who say they were wronged by the criminal justice system.

A controversial statue of President Theodore Roosevelt that stood outside the American Museum of Natural History in New York has been removed. The monument was criticised in recent years, as according to the museum, it ‘communicates a racial hierarchy’. The statue showed Roosevelt on horseback, flanked by a Native American man and an African man.
Statues of other historical figures have also drawn criticism across the country. Find out who and why in our video.

Eden for the Homeless
#video #USA
Rows of tiny, colourfully painted houses make Eden Village look like an exemplary community. It's a home for the long-term homeless. Residents of Eden Village have to follow a strict no-drug, no-crime policy. Locals hang on to their community because it's their first permanent home for a long time. Eden Village provides homes for the homeless with disabilities.
Over half a million Americans sleep rough, and millions more are one paycheck away from becoming homeless. Jean hadn't had a roof over her head for a long time, but she finally got keys from her new house in Eden Village. Unfortunately, there are only 31 houses available, and there's a long waiting list.
Why was Jean lucky? Watch our new documentary, Eden for the Homeless, right now to find out. https://youtu.be/zyR5ti5vlPg
