HBO Documentary
Produced by Sheila Nevins & John Hoffman
Oct. 18th (3rd Thurs.) 8pm at Lieschen's home
We are trying something different this month. Instead of reading a book, we will view a documentary and discuss it. Please plan on viewing the documentary prior to attending book club.
A message from Lieschen:
A
few months ago HBO did a special called "The Weight of the Nation",
which comments on the current state of the obesity epidemic. The series
contains 4 one-hour segments, available for free streaming on HBO's
website.
If
watching the whole series is too much of a time commitment, Part 1
"Consequences" and Part 3 "Children in Crisis" are the two that deal
most with childhood obesity, though I do recommend the entire series. I
have a list of discussion questions.
I would only mean for
this to be informative and positive. I don't mean to focus on our own
weight, politics or anything like that. I was hoping for a discussion
of how we can help our children be healthy into young adulthood and
beyond.
