Unrest Makes it to PBS

[Cort]

From a Facebook post:

Unrest is part of the line up for next season on PBS!

“Unrest” by Jennifer Brea (Monday, January 8, 10:00-11:30 p.m. ET)

An exploration of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) — commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – a mysterious illness some still believe is “all in your head.”

I think PBS announced that they had bought the TV rights to Unrest not long after its world premiere, and said it would be shown in the first quarter of 2018.

Now - it's going to be the first week of the quarter ! PBS seems to recognize its importance - and will be promoting it during the Christmas/New Year's holiday. That should get it a large audience.

I just watched it on PBS. Definitely brought out some tears. I'm glad she made this film. It should help bring some much-needed attention to our plight.

Yes. i watched it twice and had to cry both times.
I suppose many of us have a large backlog of grief to work through.
