Unrest
Directed by Jennifer Brea
Produced by Shella Films, Impact Partners
An intimate, medically focused documentary that combines personal testimony with scientific investigation to expose the dismissal of chronic illness and advocate for recognition of a neglected disease.
When Harvard PhD student Jennifer Brea is struck down at 28 by a fever that leaves her bedridden, doctors tell her it’s "all in her head." Determined to live, she sets out on a virtual journey to document her story—and four other families' stories—fighting a disease medicine forgot.
