Under Our Skin- 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.
2008 University of New Haven symposium dvds & Cure Unknown� by Pam Weintraub will be available for purchase.
LOCATION: Dodds Theatre, University of New Haven, 300 Boston Post Road, West Haven CT 06516
