WATCH THE PANEL DISCUSSIONS FROM OUR JULY 2019 CHICAGO THEATRICAL RUN, FRIDAY July 12 @ 8:15pm - Opening Night Q&A with COOKED Filmmakers & Film Subjects, Panelists: Fenell Doremus (Producer, COOKED: Survival by Zip Code), Judith Helfand (Director/Producer, COOKED: Survival by Zip Code), Dr. Linda Rae Murray, M.D. So the question is, a Chicago official asks, did people die of the heat, or did they die of the social conditions in these neighborhoods, and the answer is both. Helfand examines and mocks the futility of task force reports, emergency plans, disaster preparedness, rehearsals for tornadoes and other calamities, when these ignore the racism and poverty that cause people to suffer so unequally. Possible defendants could include the fossil fuel industry causing inexorable global warming; Chicago officials, especially Mayor Richard Daley, who tried to blame the victims families themselves for not doing enough, and who fail to address the roots of poverty; the Federal Housing Administration, whose policies explicitly discriminated against Black communities; banks and corporations, which disinvested from Black communities and left people excessively vulnerable to natural disasters; and the entire system of racial capitalism, from enslavement forward, which created maps with perfect overlaps of race and death.

news,21600:11:20,190 --> 00:11:22,749{\an8}wherever I saw it first, thatthere're refrigerator trucks,21700:11:22,750 --> 00:11:24,249{\an8}that means there'sso many dead bodies21800:11:24,271 --> 00:11:26,231{\an8}that the coroner doesn'thave room for 'em anymore.21900:11:26,255 --> 00:11:29,055{\an8}That's enough, right thereyou know you were in trouble.22000:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,820You can't bring any more in.22100:11:32,835 --> 00:11:34,909(slow, somber music)22200:11:34,910 --> 00:11:37,823I was at the medical examiner'soffice for a solid week.22300:11:39,180 --> 00:11:42,415They were doing autopsiesvery nearly around the clock.22400:11:42,970 --> 00:11:44,917{\an8}You almost had to run a gauntlet22500:11:44,941 --> 00:11:47,879{\an8}to walk through anywhere,22600:11:47,904 --> 00:11:52,357{\an8}to avoid touching atray that held a body.22700:11:53,882 --> 00:11:55,195It looked like a war zone.22800:11:58,890 --> 00:12:00,720With the medicalexaminer's office,22900:12:01,410 --> 00:12:04,517{\an8}they couldn't afford to gothrough all of the steps,23000:12:04,518 --> 00:12:07,873{\an8}so, everybody had togo and find their own.23100:12:10,610 --> 00:12:12,979{\an8}So I had to get up in atruck and there was maybe 8023200:12:12,980 --> 00:12:18,076{\an8}to a hundred remains ormore, in the bags.23300:12:18,100 --> 00:12:19,969{\an8}So basically had to gothrough every remain,23400:12:19,970 --> 00:12:21,118{\an8}checking toe tags,23500:12:21,661 --> 00:12:24,956until we could find the personsthat we were coming to get.23600:12:24,970 --> 00:12:28,239So in event of someonethat I was picking up,23700:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,799it was like maybe acouple of people on top.23800:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,349So you had to justtry to move them over.23900:12:33,350 --> 00:12:36,469It was just, it was,yeah it was sad really.24000:12:36,470 --> 00:12:37,570You know it's a sight.24100:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,223It did have an emotionaleffect on all of us.24200:12:44,268 --> 00:12:47,579We couldn't just sit andboo hoo with the family.24300:12:47,580 --> 00:12:50,043We had to maintainour professionalism.24400:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,029{\an8}Saturday morning I camein and we had 87 cases.24500:12:57,030 --> 00:13:00,459{\an8}Sunday morning we had 83cases and today we have 117.24600:13:00,460 --> 00:13:01,923{\an8}Now our average is 17.24700:13:03,350 --> 00:13:04,329So what we're seeing here24800:13:04,330 --> 00:13:06,383is we're seeing anexcess mortality.24900:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,833I'm around deathon a daily basis.25000:13:12,850 --> 00:13:14,253'95 was frightening.25100:13:17,030 --> 00:13:22,030{\an8}This was in a SRO, which is asingle room occupancy hotel.25200:13:22,910 --> 00:13:25,169These are folks that couldn'tafford air conditioning,25300:13:25,170 --> 00:13:27,520or the electricity torun the air conditioning.25400:13:28,850 --> 00:13:30,449You can see thewindows are closed25500:13:30,450 --> 00:13:32,500and there's not evena fan in the window.25600:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,769There were two peopleat the same time.25700:13:35,770 --> 00:13:37,539One of 'em was havinga heart attack,25800:13:37,540 --> 00:13:39,633and another guy wasDOA from the heat.25900:13:46,260 --> 00:13:47,869They brought him outand took him over26000:13:47,870 --> 00:13:49,543to the medicalexaminer's office.26100:13:51,270 --> 00:13:54,339And unfortunately this isa sight that I saw often,26200:13:54,340 --> 00:13:58,503but usually victims ofhomicides, not from heat.26300:14:07,170 --> 00:14:09,609{\an8}We cannot sayexactly how many deaths26400:14:09,610 --> 00:14:12,329{\an8}are a direct result of the heat.26500:14:12,330 --> 00:14:15,899{\an8}But we know that the numberof non-violent deaths26600:14:15,900 --> 00:14:18,443{\an8}over the last four dayscontinued to climb.26700:14:19,390 --> 00:14:20,969In the last four26800:14:20,970 --> 00:14:23,369[Judith] Non-violent deaths?26900:14:23,370 --> 00:14:25,609I had to stop and replaythe mayor's comment27000:14:25,610 --> 00:14:28,449a few times over,to try and wrap my head around27100:14:28,450 --> 00:14:30,143what he meant by that term.27200:14:30,832 --> 00:14:34,211That the number of non-violentdeaths continued to27300:14:34,230 --> 00:14:36,869[Judith] Because being cookedto death behind closed doors27400:14:36,870 --> 00:14:39,763seemed to me to be apretty violent way to die.27500:14:46,181 --> 00:14:48,517Oh when you have three,when you have 339 people,27600:14:48,558 --> 00:14:51,089there's a lot of people dead,I mean, that's a lot of people.27700:14:53,146 --> 00:14:54,439[Man At Door] This Mr. Patrick?27800:14:54,463 --> 00:14:55,755[Announcer] Crisis intervention27900:14:55,774 --> 00:14:57,919workers respond tocalls of concern.28000:14:57,943 --> 00:15:00,609A 60-year-old womanhadn't been heard from.28100:15:00,610 --> 00:15:04,109Take all this away fromhere, and open this window up.28200:15:04,110 --> 00:15:05,629Well I'm on the first floor.28300:15:05,630 --> 00:15:07,829[Man] Oh you afraid ofsomebody throwing some bricks28400:15:07,830 --> 00:15:09,339- or something?- They'd come in.28500:15:09,340 --> 00:15:10,970[Man] Oh,you think that might come in?28600:15:10,994 --> 00:15:12,481You have a screenhere, don't you dear?28700:15:12,482 --> 00:15:13,314[Woman] Yes sir.28800:15:13,315 --> 00:15:14,969They'll break the screen open?28900:15:14,970 --> 00:15:16,722What will a sharpknife do to a screen?29000:15:16,723 --> 00:15:19,069[Man] Yes, it will.29100:15:19,070 --> 00:15:21,499[Judith] As I watchedthis agonizing choice29200:15:21,500 --> 00:15:24,669between staying safeand staying cool,29300:15:24,670 --> 00:15:26,719I thought about thenine refrigerated trucks29400:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,909that were parked outsidethe county morgue for weeks,29500:15:29,910 --> 00:15:33,969each one filled with hundredsof deceased Chicago residents.29600:15:33,970 --> 00:15:36,869And how ironic it was,that they finally got29700:15:36,870 --> 00:15:40,453the air conditioning theyneeded while awaiting autopsy.29800:15:43,947 --> 00:15:46,575{\an8}Cooler air came rushingin across the country today,29900:15:46,610 --> 00:15:47,983{\an8}after a brutal heatwave.30000:15:49,810 --> 00:15:52,779Hardest hit was the cityof Chicago and its elderly.30100:15:52,780 --> 00:15:53,949Many are wondering tonight,30200:15:53,950 --> 00:15:56,999how could heat killso many people?30300:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,729{\an8}Sexiness for the new mediawas it was about the heat.30400:16:00,730 --> 00:16:02,459{\an8}But, the real story is,30500:16:02,460 --> 00:16:04,710{\an8}why were people in theseneighborhoods dying?30600:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,179People weren't dyingon the north side,30700:16:09,180 --> 00:16:11,130people weren't dyingin the Gold Coast.30800:16:14,644 --> 00:16:17,867People were dying on thesouth and west sides.30900:16:22,020 --> 00:16:24,149[Judith] Eric gave methe medical examiner's list31000:16:24,150 --> 00:16:26,453of heatwave victimswith their addresses,31100:16:28,510 --> 00:16:30,799and I went frombuilding to building31200:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,609wondering why there were moredeaths in some neighborhoods31300:16:33,610 --> 00:16:36,389than others,and about all the elements31400:16:36,390 --> 00:16:40,459that lead up to someonedying a slow, violent death31500:16:40,460 --> 00:16:42,233alone in the heat.31600:16:44,230 --> 00:16:49,236Why is it that people dieduring an extreme weather event?31700:16:49,260 --> 00:16:52,139{\an8}Well I think peopledie from the heat31800:16:52,140 --> 00:16:56,163{\an8}for two highlycorrelated reasons.31900:16:58,010 --> 00:17:02,779One is 'cause it's hotand they're not able32000:17:02,780 --> 00:17:05,609to defend themselvesagainst the heat.32100:17:05,610 --> 00:17:10,610And that defense could be interms of opening their windows.32200:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,019And in poor,vulnerable communities,32300:17:13,020 --> 00:17:15,309people don't wannaopen their windows.32400:17:15,310 --> 00:17:18,089It could be by turningon the air conditioner,32500:17:18,090 --> 00:17:19,559and in vulnerable communities,32600:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,979people don't haveair conditioning.32700:17:21,980 --> 00:17:25,809And it could also begoing outside their house32800:17:25,810 --> 00:17:29,299and going to an institutionwhere there is air conditioning.32900:17:29,300 --> 00:17:32,679For example, a public librarymight have air conditioning.33000:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,539Or even the lobby ofan apartment house33100:17:34,540 --> 00:17:36,009might have air conditioning.33200:17:36,010 --> 00:17:40,689And, vulnerable communitiestend not to have those as well.33300:17:40,690 --> 00:17:43,499The second,and intimately related factor,33400:17:43,500 --> 00:17:47,879is if you have apre-existing condition,33500:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,039so it's alreadyweakened your body,33600:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,459then clearly it's gonna beeasier for the heat to kill you.33700:17:53,460 --> 00:17:55,689{\an8}[Announcer] It canhappen so quickly.33800:17:55,690 --> 00:17:59,819Temperature inside soars, yourbody can't regulate the heat.33900:17:59,820 --> 00:18:02,539It can happen toanyone of any age,34000:18:02,540 --> 00:18:04,993but seniors areparticularly vulnerable.34100:18:06,673 --> 00:18:08,386The question is,what do we do about that?34200:18:08,410 --> 00:18:11,689Can we minimizethose excess deaths?34300:18:11,690 --> 00:18:13,967And the answer is, yes,we could have minimized it.34400:18:19,411 --> 00:18:21,413We've offered that,but there's not a great number34500:18:21,438 --> 00:18:23,529of people who've come inand taken advantage of it.34600:18:24,107 --> 00:18:26,482There's really verylittle explanation for it.34700:18:27,485 --> 00:18:28,527Thank you.34800:18:35,437 --> 00:18:38,679[Judith] Do you think thishas anything to do with race?34900:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,806I think that, I have to go with,35000:18:43,830 --> 00:18:46,009there's a sayingin Chicago that's35100:18:46,010 --> 00:18:47,649everything is about race.35200:18:47,650 --> 00:18:50,859The majority of the peoplethat died were minority,35300:18:50,860 --> 00:18:52,459mostly poor.35400:18:52,460 --> 00:18:54,409You don't have tobe poor to be black,35500:18:54,410 --> 00:18:56,509you don't have tobe black to be poor.35600:18:56,510 --> 00:18:57,545But35700:19:00,060 --> 00:19:02,020{\an8}[Judith] Just as manyChicagoans were starting35800:19:02,044 --> 00:19:04,579{\an8}to realise that the blackcommunity had suffered35900:19:04,580 --> 00:19:07,039{\an8}a disproportionatenumber of deaths,36000:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,233{\an8}Mayor Daley wenton the offensive.36100:19:09,570 --> 00:19:12,019[Announcer] For his part,Daley pointed a finger of blame36200:19:12,020 --> 00:19:14,409at some of the familiesof the senior citizens36300:19:14,410 --> 00:19:17,009who died all alonein the hellish heat.36400:19:17,010 --> 00:19:21,229We have to appeal, to allthe family members of seniors,36500:19:21,230 --> 00:19:24,509to call, go over there,see their mother or father36600:19:24,510 --> 00:19:26,510or their aunt anduncle, that is a must.36700:19:27,380 --> 00:19:29,029{\an8}I think there was denial.36800:19:29,030 --> 00:19:33,649{\an8}A lot of the heads ofstate were in denial36900:19:33,650 --> 00:19:35,609{\an8}about what was going on you see,37000:19:35,610 --> 00:19:39,083{\an8}because it didn'ttouch them directly.37100:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,423And because it didn't,they weren't involved directly,37200:19:45,120 --> 00:19:46,523they didn't feel the pinch.37300:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,639Because they had theirair-conditioned places.37400:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,419And they had theirswimming pools37500:19:52,420 --> 00:19:54,500and things thatthey could go to.37600:19:54,501 --> 00:19:57,789Whereas, our people didn'thave anyplace to go.37700:19:57,790 --> 00:19:59,871[Judith] Do you thinkit's really about the heat?37800:19:59,872 --> 00:20:04,093No, no,it's just about the lack of,37900:20:05,750 --> 00:20:08,350oh God help me,I don't wanna say that.38000:20:09,587 --> 00:20:12,519We'll just say,it's about a lack of compassion38100:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,525on a lot of parts.38200:20:14,526 --> 00:20:15,999It's not really about the heat.38300:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,679I think that there'sno need for poverty,38400:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,499- as much poverty- As we have.38500:20:20,515 --> 00:20:22,708in our community as there is.38600:20:25,830 --> 00:20:27,499[Judith] Evenafter the heat broke,38700:20:27,500 --> 00:20:29,829the death countcontinued to climb.38800:20:29,830 --> 00:20:33,599And when it reached525, the mayor shifted38900:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,259from blaming the families,39000:20:35,260 --> 00:20:37,922to questioning the medicalexaminer's numbers,39100:20:38,390 --> 00:20:40,959{\an8}which turned out to be apretty effective distraction.39200:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,279{\an8}You can't contributeit all to heat.39300:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,049{\an8}- But I mean- You can't, it's impossible.39400:20:45,050 --> 00:20:47,180{\an8}The mayor thinks therefigures should be examined,39500:20:47,181 --> 00:20:49,031{\an8}the medical examiner'soffice thinks39600:20:49,055 --> 00:20:50,728{\an8}that they willwithstand scrutiny.39700:20:50,729 --> 00:20:53,274{\an8}We would be delighted tohave these figures examined.39800:20:54,424 --> 00:20:56,468[Judith] While the mayorand the medical examiner39900:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,999were having theirvery public argument,40000:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,039the figures were being checked40100:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,469by the city's ownchief epidemiologist.40200:21:04,470 --> 00:21:07,009I knew that peoplewould be dying40300:21:07,010 --> 00:21:09,339throughout the city ofChicago of the heat,40400:21:09,340 --> 00:21:12,436but dying in hospitals,and the doctors would say,40500:21:12,437 --> 00:21:14,096"Well,I've been treating this guy40600:21:14,097 --> 00:21:16,396for heart diseasefor three years,40700:21:16,397 -->
