That there isn't much publicity even on the Internet about the movie Under the Eightball. There's been a few postings on lyme forums about it, but not that much interest or talk. I mean I can understand most people are wrapped up in their illness, but I still would expect more interest in the movie.

After my research I am dumbfounded you can't see or download this movie anywhere. I've never come across an old documentary or movie that can't be seen or downloaded on the Internet. The directors website is down and the only place you can buy it is Facebook.

Many people who live in a bubble can say that governments have no connection to this disease which helps them sleep at night. But the truth is there's already been good evidence that suggests German scientists did tests with ticks and tick born diseases. And if you know your history, our government took control of many German scientists and Russian scientists.

To me the way the government is handling the whole situation suggests some foul play. There's only so much we can do of course. Just find that no curiosity in this movie is weird. I haven't seen it yet, but just from watching the trailer makes me really want to see it. And the fact that one of my LLMDs is in it makes me want to see it some more.

Some really good articles written about it here

Just thought it would be good to have another updated posting on the documentary so it doesn't fall between the cracks like so many of us have through the medical community. I know there are new people with Lyme disease daily and this might be new to them and gauge their interest.

Ventura's CT show was great, especially the one on plum island. I think they could've done the show without the suspense and cheesiness, but overall they got their point across.

It's funny the day that plum island show came out on true TV, my symptoms were really starting to show, it's amazing how something stairs you right in your face and you don't realize it.

I just watched this documentary http://youtu.be/Kghyjfv50cE It talks about how the government infected Tuskegee African-American with syphilis and soldiers with LSD. Some other good info about government testing, like the radiation studies they did. This information has been documented as fact and not conspiracy theories.

It's just amazing how much our government has gotten away with. But honestly, I think that you can get away with so much until something drastic happens.

I saw the Eightball listing on You Tube yesterday. It's been out quite awhile... so maybe that is why there is not much talk about it.

Unfortunately I believe this movie, Under the 8 Ball, was never released. I read an article awhile back, I have lost the reference link, stating that they may have taken hush/squelch money to never release this movie. Very sad if this statement is/was true as we need more movie directors willing to go above and beyond to expose the atrocities and wake up more people to fight this.
