ABOUT ``UNDER OUR SKIN''
Three years in the making, this documentary reveals the shocking human, medical and political dimensions of one of the most misunderstood diseases of our time -- Lyme disease. Following the lives of courageous patients and physicians as they battle the epidemic, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of our healthcare system and its inability to cope with a growing terror under our skin. This film was an audience award finalist in both the Tribeca (7th place out of 120 films) and Berkshires (2nd place) film festivals.

May I suggest if you want them.. best get them ASAP. The word is out and folks are going after them.

BTW-

I just watched the movie and I think everyone's FAMILY should see it! And close friends too. I would insist the ducks see it too.. if you know any.

You might want to contact your local health department and invite them to get off their duffs and go see it.

They have a LONG history of knowing NOTHING and doing NOTHING about Lyme (other than what the IDSA orders them to do).. and go as far as mocking patients... and just in general being difficult.

Enjoy!
