Medicine Box Project Update (May 2010):
The second film in the Medicine Box series has now been completed. "Crossing Cultures - Using the LEARN Model" was produced by Free Country Media, funded by the Regions Hospital Foundation and the Medtronic Foundation, and distributed by HealthPartners Center for International Health. If you're interested in receiving a copy of this or any other Medicine Box film on DVD, please contact us.
The first film to come out of the Medicine Box project, "If We Knew Their Stories," a twenty-minute look at refugees and the harrowing things they have gone through, told in their own words and relayed to us by their doctors. The film made its broadcast debut in December 2007 in the Twin Cities on TPT channel 2. The film is also available on DVD.
Post-production on the feature-length film, tentatively titled "American Heart," is now under way. More details coming soon.
Back in 2005, when the project was first pitched to me, among the people with whom I first met was an author named Billy Young. Billy was just starting a book that was to run parallel to our film production. That book has now been released. The book is called My Heart it is Delicious: the Story of the Center for International Health. You can buy the book – you'll be enriched and you'll have a great platform from which to dive into the feature film, when it is completed.
