Friday, September 7.  PART 1: Consequences
The first film in “The Weight of the Nation” series examines the scope of the obesity epidemic and explores the serious health consequences of being overweight or obese.

The third film features interviews with experts who fear this may be the first generation of American children who will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.
