The Quiet Epidemic

After years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for answers, which lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate.

What begins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease, dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of suppressed scientific research and buried documents reveals why tick-borne illnesses have quietly spread around the globe.

A Q&A with the filmmakers and a panel of experts follows the film.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Global Lyme Alliance and the Quiet Epidemic Social Impact Campaign.
