Hey, one final email for now.

Celia and I were talking about some AMSA stuff last night and the book =
and movie, "And the Band Played On" came up during one of our many =
tangents.  For those who don't recall, it's about how the causative =
agent of HIV/AIDS was discovered in the 1980s after an outbreak in the =
bay area and the subsequent controversy over who actually discovered it, =
Americans or French.  For Matthew Modine fans, the movie features him as =
the American epidemiologist.

We were thinking that we could show the movie in our the 2nd year =
classroom on Dec. 2.  If any of you can think of any other good movies, =
articles or books about HIV/AIDS, perhaps we can even put together a =
reading and movie list, please let us know.

Looking ahead, I think showing a series of movies on health and social =
justice issues would be a great way to continue educating ourselves and =
others on these important issues.  One great movie that directly and =
effectively shows the disastrous health effects of world bank policies =
on a developing country is "Life and Debt" an excellent and entertaining =
documentary on global health policy effects on Jamaica, with interviews =
with very articulate farmers, factory workers and the former president =
about how the world bank shafted them.  Please let us know if you have =
any other movies that would be good to show.

Just a few thoughts.  Now back to work.  Peace out.

Quy
