First Run Features Acquires ‘The Quiet Epidemic,’ Documentary About “Vicious Medical Debate” Over Chronic Lyme Disease

EXCLUSIVE: First Run Features is promising “a robust awards campaign” for The Quiet Epidemic, after acquiring U.S. distribution rights to the documentary about Chronic Lyme and tick-borne disease.
The film directed by Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch will begin a one-week Oscar-qualifying run at the IFC Center in New York on December 2, followed by a nationwide rollout in early 2023.

What begins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease, dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of suppressed scientific research and buried documents reveal why ticks—and the diseases they carry—have been allowed to quietly spread around the globe.”
Deer ticks, which carry Lyme disease, “are mostly active when temperatures are above 45 ̊F, and they thrive in areas with at least 85-percent humidity,” the EPA reports. “Thus, warming temperatures associated with climate change are projected to increase the range of suitable tick habitat and are therefore one of multiple factors driving the observed spread of Lyme disease.”
“The Quiet Epidemic is an alarming documentary which everyone needs to see to understand
