In Theaters: http://www.escapefiremovie.com/screenings iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/id556782507 Video on Demand: http://www.escapefiremovie.com/watch-on-tv ESCAPE FIRE: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: how can we save our badly broken healthcare system? SYNOPSIS: ESCAPE FIRE examines the powerful forces maintaining the status quo, a medical industry designed for quick fixes rather than prevention, for profit-driven care rather than patient-driven care. After decades of resistance, a movement to bring innovative high-touch, low-cost methods of prevention and healing into our high-tech, costly system is finally gaining ground. This film follows dramatic human stories as well as leaders fighting to transform healthcare at the highest levels of medicine, industry, government, and even the US military.

A new study from Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) examined kids’ meals at 34 restaurant chains and found that 91% do not meet nutrition standards set by the National Restaurant Association's Kids LiveWell program, a voluntary initiative. Those standards set limits for calories, fat, sugar, and salt, and require that kids’ meals include some combination of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy. Find a list of healthy options for kids at popular chains in your community.
