In July 2015, the Office of Equal Opportunity sponsored a film viewing on health disparities through the documentary entitled: “Unnatural Causes-Is Inequality Making Us Sick”? This is Part 4:“Bad Sugar”.  This session explores O’odham Indians living on reservations in southern Arizona, having perhaps the highest rates of Type 2 diabetes in the world.   Some researchers see this as the literal ‘embodiment’ of decades of poverty, oppression and loss.  A new approach suggests that communities may regain control over their health if they can regain control over their futures.
