Hi all,
I wish this video (made by the David Cornfield Melanola Fund) had come to my attention back at the beginning of the semester, but I thought it was still worth posting about now. It's on YouTube.
I think this is a such an effective short film-- it's educational, but with funny lines spaced throughout. The people in it have real experiences with melanoma, and I think their stories are extremely memorable. They also do a great job of including a broad range of people. More relevant to our class material, the video ends with a call to spread the video on Facebook or Twitter-- and I have already seen it several times on friends' Facebook page. It's difficult to say whether the video will have a measurable impact on quicker diagnoses of melanoma, or on fewer cases as people learn to prevent it, but I think it will make a difference in some way.
What do you think? Is the video a bit too much? Would you spread it to your 16-year-old relatives or your Facebook friends?
