Deborah Craig has a background in history, photography, public health, and film. She has produced and directed over half a dozen short films about socially relevant topics such as HIV/AIDS among women, the positive influence of school/community gardens in low-income neighborhoods, and aging in the LGBT community. Deborah also teaches public health at San Francisco State University and Mills College in Oakland, both of which emphasize the way in which social inequalities contribute to health inequalities. Her films use compelling personal stories to raise awareness about the challenges and strengths of underrepresented communities. Deborah has a B.A. in history fromColumbia University, did undergraduate work in photography at California College of the Arts, and has a Master of Public Health from San Francisco State University.
“A Great Ride” combines my interest in stories, photography and film, history, and health. I hope these women’s stories convey at least a little something to you about both the joy and poignancy of aging, and ultimately of the humanity, wisdom and quirky humor that might be one of the biggest perks of aging.
