About ready to go to bed and perusing the Amazon movie listing, I come across this documentary. Little did I know how captivating and incredibly well written this would be. I'm astonished at what was presented; we thought just the media was corrupt... This ever so intelligently and eloquently clearly shows us how the American Medical Review Boards are corrupt and in the bed with Insurance companies. I have been completely blown away at the intensely clear information presented. Sadly, the ending has even more upsetting news. This is above and beyond, a most powerful documentary and will surely open your eyes. Absolutely impressive!

In one of the most terrifying and despicable displays in a documentary this year on film, Under our Skin exposes the hidden epidemic of Lyme disease and its effects on not only its patients but the doctor's and families that try to treat them.Director Andy Abrahams Wilson sheds light and a nearly obscured and disguised disease that has taken the world by storm. Rendering the medical companies that are cutting these individuals off and declaring "no such thing" on many cases, Wilson along with dozens of individuals provide a new view of a very real, and alarming disease.Technically, the film doesn't follow a cohesive structure. Sitting at a 1 hour and 44 minute runtime, the whole first hour requires some patience to get through. Wilson doesn't "dumb" down anything, so if not familiar with certain terms and key phrases, you can easily be lost. In a sudden turn however, the movie takes on a more deep and powerful emotional approach to the story. Some of these people can devour you into the screen and grow an inevitable attachment. The film will give you more incentive for self-care and leave you a bit helpless in making a massive change. You can be a radical, or you can hope and pray you don't become stricken or fall victim to this disease. Though flawed in film structure, Under our Skin brings social and important awareness.***/****

Open Eye films did an outstanding job on this almost 2 hr. documentary! It presents the facts as they are for us chronic Lyme patients who are not diagnosed promptly; under treated in antibiotics, and thrown into the Lyme war controversy! We didn't ask to be in controversial disease where our insurance companies refuse to pay their fair share for our Lyme appointments and treatments!I've had chronic Lyme 40 yrs. this Xmas; 34.5 yrs. misdiagnosed by 40-50 Dr's! Unacceptable!.The IDSA Dr's. need to be working with our ILADS, international Lyme associated disease Dr's. so that we chronic Lyme and co-infection meaning other diseases the ticks carry, can get better and into remission.

I'm glad they came out with this documentary! Lyme Disease is and has been serious with too many issues with the Doctors, the medications, the CDC, the insurance companies, etc. This is definitely worth watching and they need everyone to see this, including the non-believers as well as the ones that don't seem to care enough. They need to see the real truth of what is going on and how bad it is and this documentary will show them just that. It discusses the personal lives as it effects these people. It can be very emotional. From someone that has gone through a lot of this - please take the time to see this documentary. We need to get this out there to make a difference.
