Hi Folks, For those of you that are interested, I wanted to let you know that the feature-length documentary on Lyme Disease, "Under Our Skin," was released at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City this past weekend. Linked below is a 5 minutes movie trailer on this film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxWgS0XLVqwHere is a summary of the film from the film website: An infectious film about microbes, money and medicine. One of the most controversial illnesses in the history of medicine, Lyme disease may be the fastest growing infectious disease in the United States. Yet each year thousands are misdiagnosed - many of them told that their symptoms are "all in their head." This upcoming documentary investigates the shocking human, medical, and political dimensions of Lyme disease, an emerging epidemic destroying countless numbers of lives. A case study of the dangers of the confluence of money and medicine, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of our healthcare system and its inability to cope with a biological terror under our skin.
