The Weight of the Nation: Challenges

Part of the HBO documentary series about obesity that premiered in Austin this week will be screened for free next week at five Austin locations of the Alamo Drafthouse.
HBO partnered with the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation to create the four-part series.
The last film, “Challenges,” takes a look at the severity and origins of the obesity epidemic, explores challenges facing people who are overweight or obese and looks at ways for communities to fight the epidemic. It will be shown at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 1.
