“The Quiet Epidemic,” a feature documentary about the tick-borne illness Lyme Disease, has released its trailer ahead of the film’s premiere in the Special Presentations category …
The film is co-directed by Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch, and the producers are Chris Hegedus, who was Oscar nominated with D.A. Pennebaker for “The War Room,” and Daria Lombroso, whose credits include “Most Likely to Succeed.”
Keys and Crane-Murdoch stated: “Lyme Disease was first discovered in 1975, yet there has been very little progress for patients. Meanwhile, ticks are spreading life-threatening diseases around the world. Some people are left without a cure, and many without a diagnosis in the first place. We cannot wait for effective diagnostics and therapeutics any longer. We hope this film can be the catalyst to awaken the public to this growing and common threat.
The movie will premiere on May 2 at the TIFF Bell Lightbox Theater, a timely kickoff to Lyme Awareness Month in the U.S. and Canada. It will screen again May 6 at Isabel Bader Theater. Both screenings will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. The film will also be available in the Hot Docs virtual screening room, which is geo-blocked to Canada.
