Directed by Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch
\nUSA, 2022, 101 minutes.
\nAfter years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn
\nand a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not
\nexist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for
\nanswers, which lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate. What
\nbegins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of
\nLyme disease, dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of
\nsuppressed scientific research and buried documents reveals why ticks \u2013 and
\nthe diseases they carry \u2013 have been allowed to quietly spread around the
\nglobe.
\nLyme disease is a potentially debilitating and sometimes fatal infection
\ncaused by bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected tick to
\npeople and pets. Nearly half a million (476,000) or more new cases of Lyme
\ndisease are diagnosed each year in all 50 states of the U.S. Due to the
\ndifficulty in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease, more than two million
\npeople suffer from its debilitating later stage symptoms. Researchers have
\nfound that Lyme disease costs the U.S. healthcare system between $712
\nmillion and $1.3 billion a year.
\n\u201cThrough its masterful storytelling, The Quiet Epidemic does what any good
\ninvestigative doc should do \u2013 it informs, infuriates, breaks your heart,
\nand fills you with hope.\u201d
