Director: Joonas Berghäll
Cast:
In this heavily autobiographical documentary, Joonas Berghäll documents his years-long fight against Lyme disease. He meets medical experts and fellow sufferers in Germany, Italy, France, and the US, and discovers that the disease is not always taken seriously. Berghäll's film offers an informative but not terribly captivating collection of stories that revolve around the topic, all of it drably narrated by him. He lets his interviewees speak and doesn't ask any follow-up questions, even if he disagrees with them.
