Cooked: Survival by Zip Code, a documentary by Judith Helfand, focuses on the deadliest heat wave in U.S. history, in 1995, when 739 people in Chicago – mostly elderly, poor, and Black - died in one week. It highlights how structural racism, economic inequality, and social isolation - not just the weather - created a "slow-motion disaster". Cooked is a film that gives names and faces to the concept of environmental racism and argues that where a person lives (their zip code) disproportionately dictates their chance of survival. This film can help students recognize that the climate crisis is also a racial justice crisis.
