A Screening of "The Skin You're In" documentary and Q&A Session with Dr. Thomas LaVeist

Black Americans live sicker and die younger than any other ethnic group in the nation. Why is this happening? The reasons are complex and rooted in racism.您的皮肤Docufilm系列从各个角度研究了这种令人不安的现象。我们确定问题，解释原因并提供真正的解决方案。

The docufilm series takes viewers on a journey they can relate to. We talk to leading health experts and researchers from around the country who explain and identify what can and is being done. But mostly we show the health problems firsthand in the everyday lives of African American families telling their stories. We meet and introduce everyday extraordinary individuals throughout the nation who are valued health experts too -- people taking positive action to heal their lives, their families and their communities.

加入我们，与Docufilm董事和执行制片人，杜兰大学院长托马斯·拉维斯特（Thomas Laveist），公共卫生与热带医学学院院长托马斯·拉维斯特（Thomas Laveist）一起进行筛查和特别问答。
