Remembering Chicago's 1995 deadly heat wave. We discuss “Cooked: Survival by Zip Code” with @Kartemquin producer Fenell Doremus. to.wttw.com/2JFLg7G

739 people died during an unprecedented Chicago heat wave July 12-16 in 1995. @MayorDaley called them "non-violent deaths." But as @judithhelfand remarks in @CookedTheFilm,"being cooked to death behind closed doors... is a pretty violent way to die."
