the water is rushing.9400:04:18,448 --> 00:04:20,457It's your turn, go, go, go, go.9500:04:20,458 --> 00:04:21,917[Announcer] We heardfrom her earlier,9600:04:21,932 --> 00:04:24,193she was stuck in HighlandPark, New York, trying to get9700:04:24,217 --> 00:04:27,269[Judith] Safe, cosy,and with very bad letters,9800:04:27,270 --> 00:04:30,533I had plenty of time to thinkabout disaster preparedness.9900:04:32,490 --> 00:04:34,473My mother had herclose-knit hallway.10000:04:35,410 --> 00:04:37,873My brother and his familyhad their generator.10100:04:39,700 --> 00:04:42,032And I had them.10200:04:42,033 --> 00:04:44,616(gentle music)10300:04:46,280 --> 00:04:49,616I was very aware ofhow fortunate I was.10400:04:49,617 --> 00:04:52,059And I was equally awareof how many people10500:04:52,060 --> 00:04:54,053in my own city, were not.10600:04:59,310 --> 00:05:00,839But I didn't alwayslook at disaster10700:05:00,840 --> 00:05:02,749through the lens of privilege.10800:05:02,750 --> 00:05:06,592That all started with abook I read about a disaster10900:05:06,593 --> 00:05:10,959that took place inChicago in July, 1995.11000:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,293One of the deadliest heatwavesin U.S. history, so far.11100:05:17,020 --> 00:05:19,239I can't say whatshocked me more,11200:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,909the fact that hundreds ofpeople died from the heat11300:05:21,910 --> 00:05:26,910in a major U.S. city,or that I had no memory of it.11400:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,069This was a tragedy thatshould've seared itself11500:05:32,070 --> 00:05:34,723into the mind and memoryof every American.11600:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,697But it didn't, and that'swhat shocked me most of all.11700:05:46,220 --> 00:05:49,397So I tracked down EricKlinenberg, the native Chicagoan11800:05:49,398 --> 00:05:51,879who wrote the bookabout the heatwave.11900:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,949When I met him,he was about to brief12000:05:53,950 --> 00:05:57,093a congressional subcommitteein Washington, D.C.12100:05:58,710 --> 00:06:02,649Heatwaves kill moreAmericans than all of the other12200:06:02,650 --> 00:06:06,099so-called naturaldisasters combined.12300:06:06,100 --> 00:06:09,639Disasters are important notjust because they represent12400:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,646extreme cases, but also becausein looking at them closely,12500:06:14,670 --> 00:06:19,219we learn to recognise conditionsthat are always present,12600:06:19,220 --> 00:06:20,633but difficult to perceive.12700:06:21,568 --> 00:06:23,739And I wanna suggestthere's a kind of disaster12800:06:23,740 --> 00:06:25,979in slow motion taking place12900:06:25,980 --> 00:06:28,623in American communitieseverywhere today.13000:06:31,061 --> 00:06:32,395[Judith] Thatwas what was unique13100:06:32,396 --> 00:06:34,554about the heatwave in Chicago.13200:06:34,555 --> 00:06:38,879It was a natural disasterthat revealed an unnatural one13300:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,579in a way that I'dnever really seen.13400:06:41,580 --> 00:06:43,713Mainly because I didn't have to.13500:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,589So I went to Chicago and drovefrom the iconic lakefront13600:06:51,590 --> 00:06:54,229to the south and westsides of the city,13700:06:54,230 --> 00:06:56,849to the neighborhoods that hadsuffered the most heat deaths13800:06:56,850 --> 00:06:58,512in 1995.13900:06:58,513 --> 00:07:01,096(gentle music)14000:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,389It was obvious, somethingdevastating had happened here,14100:07:07,390 --> 00:07:10,390but I was pretty sure it hadnothing to do with the weather.14200:07:13,980 --> 00:07:16,253This disaster was man-made.14300:07:20,730 --> 00:07:22,999And that's about whenI started to question14400:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,827our very definition of disaster.14500:07:26,828 --> 00:07:29,995(slow, serious music)14600:07:41,020 --> 00:07:44,629[Announcer] The sun is cookingthe center of the country.14700:07:44,630 --> 00:07:47,012All week,roads

Helfand is in production on a first-person, non-fiction feature Love & Stuff, an intergenerational love story about losing her mother and becoming a new old mom in her fifties, both at once. In COOKED, Helfand challenges herself and others to truly see and respond to the invisible man-made disasters taking place in towns and cities across the country before the next 'natural' disaster hits.COOKED is an adaptation of 'HEAT WAVE: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago' (2002), Eric Klinenberg's groundbreaking book. He has also published a novel, A Democracy of Ghosts, and a narrative nonfiction book, Herrin: The Brief History of an Infamous American City. The organization's films have received four Academy Award nominations and won several major prizes, including six Emmys, four Peabody Awards, multiple Independent Spirit, IDA, PGA and DGA awards, and duPont-Columbia and Robert F. Kennedy journalism awards. BLUE VINYL received the Sundance Excellence Award in Cinematography and two Emmy nominations and its prequel, A HEALTHY BABY GIRL, won a Peabody.
