2008 Documentary
USA
1h 44min
A look at the science and politics of the disease, but also the personal stories of those whose lives have been affected and nearly destroyed by Lime Disease. From a few brave doctors who risk their medical licenses, to patients who once led active lives but now can barely walk, the film uncovers a hidden world that will astound viewers. While exposing a broken health care and medical research system, the film also gives voice to those who believe that instead of a crisis, Lyme is simply a "disease du jour," over diagnosed and contributing to another crisis: the looming resistance of microbes and ineffectuality of antibiotics.
