4 out of 5 stars America's Top Illness.......2007-05-16

The documentary states that people are so worried about breast cancer, AIDS, and lung cancer that they forget that heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. I fall into the group they are describing. Individuals with heart problems and their family members may already know what this documentary describes, but for me it was quite informative.

I had no idea that heart disease was like diabetes, you can keep it under control, but you can't cure it. It also is not inevitable. The work said the Chinese due to their diet and their manual labor don't have a crisis like this country has. Further, the documentary says before cars, washing machines, video games, and all the other advances that make Americans sedentary, there wasn't a heart disease crisis.

Though the researchers interviewed were mostly white males, the work tried to have diverse interviewees among patients and everyday doctors. The documentary shows computer models of heart malfunctions that are visually pleasing, rather than cheesy or second-rate.

I didn't necessarily leave the documentary knowing, "If you want to avoid heart disease, do the following ten things!" Still, I thought this work was informative and viewer-friendly.

A must see. I use in my classroom. Always helps students gain a different ptecepctive on poverty in America.

4 out of 5 stars Hidden and In America.......2006-06-09

Too many people take starvation in this country far too lightly. This movie brings to life the very certainty that kids do without the common necessities here in the USA.
This movie shows how one doctor, raised and living in the upper class of wealth, gets over his feelings regarding a man who struggles with a restaraunt job just to make ends meet for his two children. This is a very good movie about friendship beyond the bonds of class.

    At work, would you take unauthorized breaks, spend time flirting with colleagues or even lie about your work if you thought no one was watching? ABC News holds a hidden camera experiment to secretly observe who's slacking off, and how they get away with it. ABC News then takes viewers through the history of slackers from unforgettable movie roles like Ferris Bueller, to a 29-year-old college student who has spent the last 13 years as an undergrad. And what about lazy children? John Stossel sits down with two lazy teens and their frustrated parents, who say they've tried everything. And, where did we get the word sloth? ABC News educates viewers on actual sloths, who are awake only a few hours a day. Spend some time with a sloth and you'll understand how it got its name. Anchors: John Stossel and Deborah Roberts. Correspondents: JuJu Chang, Chris Connelly, Lynn Sherr.
