Hans Rosling speaks elegantly about the health of communities (countries) and how it has changed over the last century - with some predictions into the future. He gives us a 'grandmother' view of statistics in a most interesting presentaiton and finishes by demonstrating that the seemingly impossible is possible.

richest people are not the healthiest people.
You can see an earlier presentation, somewhat of a foundation for this one, here:
http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.htmlwhere he demonstrates that the problem with his students is not ignorance - it is pre-concieved ideas about 'we' and 'them'. The graphic presentation of statistics is the best I have ever seen.
