What About ME?
Friday 23 July 2010
What About ME? is a feature-length documentary that highlights the plight of people with ME/CFS. It is billed as "The story of the illness... Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ...and the toll it has taken".
The film is scheduled for release next year.
What About ME?
People are suffering, but they are told it's all in the mind. Our aim is to investigate ME further to put the plights of sufferers in the public's consciousness, which hopefully will encourage further research and health policy reform by spreading the word through this website's videos, podcasts from our interviewees, and short virals on the internet. The film is a feature length documentary, with a multi platform release, aimed at theatrical release worldwide, with sales to TV and online distribution. Guided by the expert hand of director Geoffrey Smith (for the acclaimed documentary THE ENGLISH SURGEON) we aim for release in 2011.
