Unfolding like a real-life thriller, “Under Our Skin” exposes the hidden epidemic of Lyme disease. A gripping tale of microbes, medicine and money, UNDER OUR SKIN exposes the hidden story of Lyme disease, one of the most controversial and fastest growing epidemics of our time. Each year, thousands go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, told that their symptoms are “all in their head.” Following the stories of patients and physicians fighting for their lives and livelihoods, the film will bring into focus a haunting picture of the healthcare system and a medical establishment all too willing to put profits ahead of patients.
"Like a well-made thriller, gets under your skin…More deeply terrifying than any slasher film you'll ever see." ~The Washington Post
