Jennifer Brea's Sundance award-winning documentary, Unrest, is a personal journey from patient to advocate to storyteller. Jennifer is twenty-eight years-old, working on her PhD at Harvard, and months away from marrying the love of her life when a mysterious fever leaves her bedridden. When doctors tell her it's "all in her head," she picks up her camera as an act of defiance and brings us into a hidden world of millions that medicine abandoned. Q&A with the filmmaker and experts in this field of research. Q&A Panelists: Jennifer Brea Director and Producer of Unrest W. Ian Lipkin, MD John Snow Professor of Epidemiology Director of the Center for Infection and Immunity Director of the Center for Solutions for ME/CFS Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health Susan Levine, MD ME/CFS Clinician Member of the Center for Solutions for ME/CFS Dana March, PhD (moderator) Assistant Professor of Epidemiology Deputy Director of the Center for Solutions for ME/CFS Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health
