A dramatic tale of microbes, medicine and money, this eye-opening film investigates the untold story of Lyme disease, an emerging epidemic larger than AIDS. Each year thousands go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, told that their symptoms are "all in their head." Following the stories of patients and physicians as they battle for their lives and livelihoods, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of our health care system and its ability to cope with a silent terror under our skin.
LOCATION: Dodds Theatre, University of New Haven,
300 Boston Post Road, West Haven CT 06516

We thank Andy Abrahams Wilson (Producer/Open Eye Production) for this special showing.
Copies of Pamela Weintraub's ``Cure Unknown'' will be available for Purchase.

Is there anyone from the trumbull area who wouldn't mind giving me ride? i'd be more than happy to pitch in for gas! I've been really wanting to see this movie but haven't yet had the chance. Thanks!

cowphunk, i'd take you but I'm working 'til 6 and will be running late as it is...
However, i'm going to try to get a copy for my local library. My library participates in inter-library loans and will loan DVDs to other libraries in the state...
Everyone should remember that you can get a lot of hard to find material through the inter-library loan service of your local library...
A quick check of the state library catalog yielded no results for "Under Our Skin" so I'll try to remedy that soon... Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
i just posted this in ACTIVISM and sharing what i recently learned today here tonight ************************************

to all,
i've read every post since this first came out and did not see or REMEMBER reading how we could go about having community viewings of this OUTSTANDING UNDER OUR SKIN LYME DOCUMENTARY!
so i'm going to post more details direct from UNDER OUR SKIN PRODUCER, EVE ....
NOTE: last email deals with my suggestion to have DR. JONES DEFENSE FUND "DONATION" JARS AT ALL SCREENING!!! ******************************
HI Betty -
Once you organize your screening let me know the details and we can send you some DVDs to sell. **********************************************
eve, thank you for the detailed info below!! i added the cost info below so i'd have a complete list of what to do.
i'll talk to our local hospital about using their auditorium to show this at.
does someone from UNDER OUR SKIN COME to sell your DVDS?? thanks!!
It's FANTASTIC that you folks have allowed folks to have FREE viewings!! ***********************
I thought they all were PAY VENUES; so glad you clarified that.
I'm going to emphasize that on lymenet.org so others will pursue buying the the DVD FOR COMMUNITY viewing so lyme patients/family can watch this FREE!!! Betty G**********************************************
Betty - I have forwarded you the info on how to organize a screening. Let me know if you have questions.
Thank you for your interest in organizing a community screening of UNDER OUR SKIN in your area.
To begin, community groups and libraries can ****************************************
purchase the DVD at the Community Group price, which includes public performance rights, but not the right to charge admission.**********************************
Item Options Quantity Remove Amount UNDER OUR SKIN - Play Only DVD Item # Community Pricing $95.00 USD
Subtotal: $95.00 USD plus S/Handling $6 ***************************************
PayPal protects your privacy and security. For more information, read our User Agreement and Privacy Policy.
If you or your organization are planning on charging admission to the screening,
or if the film is shown in a theatrical venue at which tickets are purchased, our standard screening fee is $300, payable to Open Eye Pictures in advance. ***********************************
If over $600 is received from ticket sales, our policy is that Open Eye Pictures receives half of the total (minus the $300 paid in advance).
Please note that, in turn, half of the proceeds we receive from such community screenings will be donated to our outreach partner,
Turn The Corner Foundation, a national nonprofit dedicated to research, education, awareness and innovative treatments for Lyme disease and other tick borne diseases.
For advertising purposes, you can find press materials and downloadable artwork here:
And, finally, please let us know the details of your screening so that we can post it on our website, helping you advertise it. ***** *******************************************
We'll need a URL or email address where people *********************************************
Thanks for writing and for your idea about raising money for Dr. Jones. ***************************
Unfortunately it would be very difficult for us to coordinate a fundraising jar to be at all the paying venues.
So far there are not many paying venues. Most of the screenings being organized are community screenings with no admission charge. *********************************************
But we certainly suggest to people that contact us to set up a Dr. Jones contribution jar.
SO i hope more of you will approach someone in your city or a larger city about SHOWING UNDE ROUR SKIN THERE AS "COMMUNITY" VIEWING ... FREE!!
Director Andy A. Wilson has been very generous offering this to lyme patients/families free to see this outstanding documentary!!
i would have done this earlier HAD I KNOWN....so now i'm informing you what i found out! Bettyg

you lucky ducks!!
give dr. jones an extra hug/kiss from all us OUT OF STATERS WHO SUPPORT AND LOVE HIM!!!! Posted by Lymeorsomething (Member # 16359) on :
I made it there despite back-to-back thunderstorms in the New Haven area.
The movie is nicely done. When they interject the controversial aspects of the disease, it gets a little annoying at times, especially since Shapiro and company denounce chronic lyme swiftly but never offer and of "their" own science to back up their points....
Pleasant surprise--Pamela Weintraub was there after the movie giving a talk. There were other speakers and Dr. Jones' birthday celebration as well...
UNFORTUNATELY, the DVD was not available for purchase there despite some rumors to the contrary...
However, there were DVDs from the University of New Haven's previous conferences...
Professor Sapi also mentioned that a recent study of Fairfield County (CT) indicated that roughly 62% of deer ticks carry the lyme bacteria...not counting the co's....
