Unnatural Causes, Ep. 4: Bad Sugar

This episode travels to the O'odham Indian reservations of southern Arizona, which are marked with the dubious distinction of perhaps the highest rates of Type 2 diabetes in the world. There it explores a re-conceptualization of chronic disease as the body's response to "futurelessness" a condition arising from decades of oppression and historical trauma. It looks at the prospects for a new approach that places a community taking control of its own destiny as fundamental to regaining health.
