DESCRIPTION:"Bloodletting" is a tale of two countries, one rich, one poor; it's the 
 story of two healthcare systems, one nationalized, one profit-driven; and 
 it's the personal story of two regular people living without healthcare in 
 America. Filmmaker Lorna Green borrows a camera to make a documentary on 
 Cuba's healthcare system, revealing history, culture, and paradoxes of 
 contemporary Cuban life. When she returns to the U.S., she finds her 
 mother, a teacher, and her brother, a manufacturing worker, living without 
 health insurance. Both become caught in a downward cycle in the ugly 
 underbelly of medicine for the uninsured in America. Turning the camera on 
 her own family, Green documents the struggles of real life without a health 
 safety net. What emerges is an intensely personal story, woven in with 
 grave statistics and commentary on a country where 45 million people are 
 uninsured. (67 minutes, 2004.)  The film will be followed by a presentation 
 by an official from Ravenswood Family Health Care, discussion, and social 
 time with organic snacks and drinks.  Suggested donation $5 to $10
