Tribeca Film Festival- Behind the Screens - "Under Our Skin"- April 27, 2008
Current mood: informed
Category: informed Movies, TV, Celebrities

A.M. Peters reports from the "Under Our Skin" Behind the Screens panel discussion at the Tribeca Film Festival. The documentary is about "arguably the most overlooked and misdiagnosed ailment currently verging on epidemic throughout the United States, Lyme disease and the controversies surrounding its identification and treatment are the focus of this documentary."

Peters' post has already garnered a comment from Betty G, an Iowa Lyme Activist, who calls her notes "wonderful and informative" and looks "forward to many more replies to this blog."

I'm very compelled now to see this film and encourage a continued dialogue with others who have seen it, or those whose lives are affected by Lyme, and anyone interested in learning more about it.
