COOKED: Survival by Zip Code Film Screening with Cook County

Join us for a film screening of the award-winning documentary COOKED: Survival by Zip Code, which uses the story of the 1995 Chicago heat wave to examine extreme racism and extreme health inequity, ultimately asking us to reframe the definition of disaster. Followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A.

Moderated by:

Denise Barreto, Cook County's Director of Equity and Inclusion

Panelists:

• Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle
• Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson
• MacArthur Foundation President John Palfrey
• Judith Helfand, Director of COOKED: Survival by Zip Code
• Rami Nashashibi, Executive Director of Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN)

Attendees of this screening will receive a link to the full 75-minute version of the film to watch in advance. Attendees will also receive a link to a Zoom meeting to join the live panel discussion and Q&A with the filmmaker, Cook County leaders and community advocates.
