Benefield was just doing her job -- until she uncovered an awful secret
about her hometown that meant its mortality rate was 80 times higher
than anywhere else in the U.S. But when she tried to tell people about
it, she learned an even more shocking truth: People didn't want to know.
In a talk that's part history lesson, part call-to-action, Margaret
Heffernan demonstrates the danger of "willful blindness" and praises
ordinary people like Benefield who are willing to speak up. (Filmed at
TEDxDanubia.)
