Student Filmmakers Bring Awareness to Long Beach Health Struggles

In Long Beach, residents who live in lower income neighborhoods have a shorter lifespan that those living in affluent communities. Workers, young people, and organizers share why it's important to fight for their health and have the courage to take action.

The Power of Stories is an archive of projects submitted every year to Building Healthy Communities (BHC) Statewide Convening. It showcases work created throughout California highlighting the power of individual and collective efforts to promote health and demonstrates how stories have the power to re-imagine and transform our communities. Produced in partnership with the California Endowment.
