With COVID-19 Shining a Light on African-American Medical Care, Vision Films is Proud to Present 'The Color of Medicine: The Story of Homer G. Phillips Hospital'
A brilliant and timely new documentary, The Color of Medicine: The Story of Homer G. Phillips Hospital. This groundbreaking documentary sheds a light on the disparity between the medical treatment that the African-American community receives as opposed to others; an issue that has never been more evident than it has been during the time of COVID-19.
Presented by Vision Films, The Color of Medicine: The Story of Homer G. Phillips Hospital not only tells the astonishing history of the first all-black hospital in St. Louis, but also recognizes and celebrates the achievements of the brave healthcare workers who were among the first black physicians and nurses to be medically trained in the United States.
COVID-19 has hit the United States harder than any other health crisis ever before, and it has become impossible to ignore the fact that the African-American community has been particularly vulnerable. The disparity between the medical treatment that this community receives, as opposed to others, has never been more evident than it has been during this time and is a major cause for concern.Available on DVD and VOD on May 12, 2020
Vision Films, in association with Flatcat-Productions, LLC, and Tunnel Vizion Films, Inc., is proud to present The Color of Medicine: The Story of Homer G. Phillips Hospital, the ground-breaking documentary that captures the long, important battle that African-Americans have fought to receive quality medical treatment and training. This timely film not only tells the astonishing history of the first all-black hospital in St. Louis but also recognizes and celebrates the achievements of the brave healthcare workers who were among the first black physicians and nurses to be medically trained in the United States.
Directed by Joyce Marie Fitzpatrick and Brian Shackelford, The Color of Medicine: The Story of Homer G. Phillips Hospital explores the role the hospital played in being one of the first institutions in the country to treat African-Americans in a safe, hygienic and sterile environment. The opening of the hospital meant that African-Americans in the community were no longer without medical care or resorting to illegal and dangerous methods of treatment. Homer G. Phillips Hospital was of utmost importance from its opening in 1937 to its dramatic closure in 1979, which incited riots in its neighborhood of “The Ville.”
Synopsis
Boasting the largest number of black doctors and nurses in the world, Homer G.Phillips Hospital opened its doors in 1937 during a time in history when America still had segregated medical facilities. Through first-hand accounts, witness the controversial history of the hospital’s medical training and how it continues to affect the lives of its practitioners, patients, and community. While its founder attorney Homer G. Phillips was mysteriously killed, the hospital in his name thrived during the most turbulent of segregated times, allowing so many people of color to achieve greatness for the benefit of humankind.
The Color of Medicine: The Story of Homer G. Phillips Hospital will be available on May 12, 2020, on digital for an SRP of $4.99 - $9.99 from platforms including iTunes, Vudu, Google Play, Xbox, Amazon, and FandangoNow, as well as cable affiliates everywhere and to buy on DVD for $12.99 online at all major retailers.

Sophie Yotova is a Bulgarian food artist, TEDx speaker, certified Eating Psychology coach, and the founder and CEO of Foodie Boulevard – a global social enterprise that teaches kids and grown-ups to become real-life superheroes by using food as a superpower on and off the dining table.
Sophie has bachelor’s degrees in Journalism and Business Administration, and has worked in graphic design, PR, and technical communication before starting her own business.
After experiencing a series of traumatic personal events, which led to her suffering a painful miscarriage and burning out, in 2017 Sophie left her flourishing corporate career in IT and jumped into social entrepreneurship.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Sophie and her team used to lead in-person courses and workshops at schools and for corporate clients, teaching people to discover food outside the box and helping them build sustainable healthy eating habits while having fun.
After the quarantine wiped out her practice, Sophie focused on reinventing her business and recently moved her work to the online space. She is about to launch a one of a kind digital format – an immersive workshop that offers a shared virtual playground for participants from around the globe and teaches them to use edible ingredients as creativity triggers and create edible art.
Sophie has struggled with an eating disorder since she was a teenager and has never had sense of smell in her life. These two peculiar features make up a unique lens, which empowers her to view and explore food beyond the trivial and mundane, and to inspire people from all ages and walks of life to use food as a playground, a stimulating learning environment, and a language of self-expression.

Author explores the meaning of life with humor and heart. Author, filmmaker, and humanitarian, Ann Crawford joins Janeane on KUCI 88.9fm

Ann is an award-winning author whose fiction focuses a compassionate eye on the lives and experiences of women from all walks of life yet sparks with humor and life.
Speaker, filmmaker, and award-winning author Ann Crawford’s books are filled with humor and hope as she examines the beauty of being alive. Her books often embrace the spiritual and metaphysical as she embraces the meaning of life and love, and her most recent title is no different. Exploring the pressures of life in the lime-light, Life in the Hollywood Lane intermingles bouts of bereavement and incredible depth with quirky, funny, aha and LOL moments.
In an interview, Ann can discuss:
Making her books as profound as they are funny
Maintaining optimism in tough times (especially now)
How she finds beauty and humor in everyday life and shares it with her readers
The inspiration behind Life in the Hollywood Lane, and her experience in talent management
Doing stand-up comedy and improv, and how that has influenced her writing
Her previous titles and being an award-winning author who has topped the Amazon bestseller list
Her approach to writing different genres, and how she challenges genre standards by pulling different elements into one title
What she’s working on now
Her most recent title Life the Hollywood Lane follows Trish, an LA actor, bereft after her best friend commits suicide. Glamorous yet tough-as-nails Hollywood is Trish's backdrop and a reflection of her life as she stumbles on through an actor's life of casting calls and premieres, rejection and acceptance. This story comes from Ann's own personal experience as a talent manager and her trademark optimism for life and love shine through in this inspiring story, which I thought would really appeal to your listeners.
