UNDER OUR SKIN is a powerful and often terrifying look not only at the science
and politics of the disease, but also the personal stories of those whose lives
have been affected and nearly destroyed. From a few brave doctors who risk their
medical licenses, to patients who once led active lives but now can barely walk,
the film uncovers a hidden world that will astound viewers. While exposing a
broken health care and medical research system, the film also gives voice to
those who believe that instead of a crisis, Lyme is simply a "disease du jour,"
over diagnosed and contributing to another crisis: the looming resistance of
microbes and ineffectiveness of antibiotics. As suspenseful and hair-raising as
any Hollywood thriller, UNDER OUR SKIN is sure to get under yours.
