Under Our Skin:
There's No Medicine for Someone Like You 
 
Unfolding like a real-life thriller, the movie documentary, "Under Our Skin" exposes the hidden epidemic of Lyme disease and reveals how our corrupt health care system is failing to address one of the most serious and mysterious illnesses of our time.
 
 "Scary enough to make the faint of heart decide never to venture into the woods." 
Stephen Holden, New York Times
 "Dramatically compelling...a ripping indictment of the medical establishment's failure to uphold its oath." 
Dan Gire, Chicago Daily Herald
"A landmark film that breaks the silence."
Michael Burke, Woodstock Film Festival.
