“Does chronic Lyme disease exist? That’s the question that haunts The Quiet Epidemic, Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch’s worthy and provocative documentary about the highly controversial syndrome. The filmmakers argue, with unflinching advocacy and some very good reporting, that chronic Lyme disease most definitely exists.”
- Owen Gleiberman, Variety
In May 2022, The Quiet Epidemic had its world premiere at Hot Docs Int’l Film Festival in their special presentations program, where it was voted into the Hot Docs Audience Top 20. It then screened at an additional 20+ festivals including DOC NYC, Hamptons Int’l Film Festival, Woodstock Film Festival, Mill Valley Film Festival and more. My co-director and I were awarded the NYWIFT Award for Excellence in Documentary Directing, and the film was awarded Best Documentary at DOCUTAH Int’l Film Festival, Macon Film Festival, and Adirondack Film Festival.
Following its festival circuit, The Quiet Epidemic was picked up by First Run Features. The film had its theatrical premiere at IFC Center in New York City, which kicked off a limited theatrical run across North America. As of May 2023, you can watch The Quiet Epidemic at home on Prime Video, AppleTV and Vimeo On Demand.
