After years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for answers, which lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate. 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 tick-borne diseases have quietly spread around the globe.

"The Quiet Epidemic is more than a mere documentary; it's a finely crafted cinematic story, weaving together an intricate narrative...an impressive balance between informative and entertaining. Its riveting narrative, compelling characters, and thought-provoking revelations draw you in. This film is more than just an exploration of a disease; it's a call to action, a prompt to think and engage with the critical dialogue it sparks." - Chris Jones, Overly Honest Film Reviews
