Bloodlines, Mississippi Watch Party GuideÌý
Looking for a meaningful, discussion-driven event for your chapter? The Bloodlines, Mississippi Watch Party Guide gives »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ chapter officers everything they need to host a powerful screening and conversation around racial health equity and the Black American amputation epidemic.
Bloodlines, Mississippi is an award-winning short documentary following Dr. Foluso Fakorede, a cardiologist working in America’s Diabetes Belt to combat an amputation crisis rooted in systemic inequity. Black patients in the Mississippi Delta face amputation rates 200% above the national average, a disparity driven not by biology, but by structural racism, underdiagnosis, and barriers to specialty care.
The guide includes background readings, discussion questions, reflection prompts, and clinical calls to action to help students connect the film’s themes to their future practice.
Flexible enough for a full chapter event or a small group debrief, this resource invites medical students to examine how clinical choices are shaped by larger systems and to imagine a practice of medicine that restores care rather than reproduces harm.
