Defining Diego is the story of one Guatemalan adoptee and his mother, a reporter who documented their journey from his earliest steps, as they try to understand how international adoption boomed and busted, and what it all means for families like theirs, with feet in two worlds. When Laurie Stern set out to adopt a baby from Guatemala in 1999, she thought the process would be pretty straightforward. Lots of people were doing it. But the adoption was held up just as she went to Guatemala to g ...

The Myth Of Canadian Healthcare

In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by Kieran Fong, a Canadian documentary filmmaker from Edmonton, Canada whose films focus on controversial social issues. In January, he released his documentary short "Hippocrates: A Guide to Treating Healthcare Workers" on YouTube, which explored the privatization of Canadian healthcare: https://youtu.be/ix7qCwiadoE
By releasing his film, he hopes to expose the corruption of conservative government's healthcare management while also highlighting solutions to improve healthcare systems around the world. Canada's Healthcare system is often touted by American leftists and liberals as the mode to aspire to. Bernie Sanders frequently cited Canada's "Medicare for all" system as the model that America should seek to follow. But a closer examination of the reality reveals something different. Canada's healthcare system has been gradually privatized and cut ever since the rise of neoliberalism and the quality the system provides has significantly diminished.
Watch Kieran Fong's short minidocumentary to learn more about the bleak realities of Canadian Healthcare and the lessons leftists around the world can learn form it. In this podcast, talk about how Canada got healthcare in the first place with Tommy Douglass and the Canadian socialist movement, and then how Canada has gradually lost it's healthcare pillages. We also discuss how to improve healthcare systems and how to use what is happening to bring people to the left.
