Lead-safety Message: Both low lead living and living in Ikaria in Greece have been associated with healthy longevity or longer healthspan. The slow rhythm of the life here in the Greek “Blue Zone” with its emphasis on fresh foods, a plant-based diet, walking (although that is gradually changing in modern times) and social connectivity (including the “Grandmother Effect”), have all contributed to the longevity of the Ikarians.

Description of Work: Two very short films: one (25 seconds) with bells calling the faithful Ikarians to church; and the other (1 minute) with animals greeting the dawn.
