In collaboration with NEW VIEWS Documentaries & Dialogue. Generously underwritten by Leonard Lauder and Jane and Michael Eisner. 

“…striking degree of emotional authenticity…” – Indiewire


Twenty-eight year-old Jennifer Brea is working on her PhD at Harvard and soon to be engaged to the love of her life when she gets a mysterious fever that leaves her bedridden and looking for answers. Disbelieved by doctors and determined to live, she turns her camera on herself and her community, a hidden world of millions confined to their homes and bedrooms by ME, commonly called chronic fatigue syndrome.
