Health in All Policies (2012)

This video, produced for the California Department of Health, introduces a “systems” approach toward health improvement.  A narrow emphasis on medical issues only, for example, would not reveal that a lack of grocery stores selling fresh fruits and vegetables in a given neighborhood, will effect the long term health of the residents of that neighborhood. Narrated by Carl Anthony. Produced and directed by Paloma Pavel.
