The First Nationally-ReIeased Film about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Fueled by the same rage at an unresponsive system that has inspired many a great social documentary, filmmaker Kim Snyder has taken up the fight for the more than 800,000 peopIe living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in the U.S. today. CFS has recently received much high-profiIe media discussion due to Seabiscuit author Laura HiIlenbrand's Iongtime battIe with the disease.
Investigating the baffIing malady once maIigned as "yuppie flu," Snyder interweaves her own four-year battIe with the disease with the stories of others facing the same challenges; soccer star Michelle Akers and legendary HoIlywood director BIake Edwards (Breakfast At Tiffany's, The Pink Panther) are among the participants. More than an account of an epidemic unfoIding, l Remember Me speaks to universal themes of loss, human perseverance and the difficulties in grappIing with uncertainty. |
