Three years in the making, this documentary reveals the shocking human, medical and political dimensions of one of the most misunderstood diseases of our time - Lyme disease, an emerging epidemic larger than AIDS. Open Eye Pictures Producer Andy Wilson says:  “Each year thousands go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, told that their symptoms are ‘all in their head”.  Those who are diagnosed in the late stages suffer from life-threatening complications from this multi-system attacking, deadly bacteria.  Following the stories of patients and physicians as they battle for their lives and livelihoods, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of our healthcare system and its ability to cope with a silent terror under our skin.” 

Educating hundreds of thousands across the United States, this film reached national coverage within a month of its premiere.  ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, GMAmerica and beyond have covered the film’s debut.  In an unprecedented meeting, the documentary was viewed by Congress two weeks ago. 

S. Central PA is endemic for Lyme disease.  Our family has personally experienced the devastating impact of a late diagnosis.  We have met countless families across the United States, provinces of Canada, United Kingdom and in Europe who appropriately diagnosed, are battling this disease. 

Our family receives an average of 5-9 calls or emails each week from families afflicted and seeking education and medical referrals from all across the US.

Our daughter’s battle with Lyme disease has called our family to walk by and respond in faith to equip others with credible science, prevention, appropriate testing facts/diagnostics, treatment options and physician referrals.  When asked, we help patients advocate for their health and well-being if infected by a tick or Lyme disease.  We have had to learn to channel fear and hype across a bridge towards hopeful answers.  To much He has given, much is demanded.  We are called to carry this cup with great integrity.  This film is one of those equipping tools that dispel myths. 

It is our privilege to be able to share it with you.  We do so to bring the film's issues to the forefront of the American public and to serve our neighbors and friends in the tri-state region and beyond.

We look forward to welcoming you. 

Barry and Diana Holtry
