Fantastic documentary.......2008-03-04

What has surprised me is how easy it is to watch this documentary. I was expecting a tougth heavy documentary with so much suffering that I would have to stop watching it. Instead, this is a very human documentary that inspires simpathy and compasion.

It is a fantastic film from two perspectives. As a documentary is really good quality and is part of the new wave of modern documentaries of a high quality equivalent to the best films. However, the best of this film is how humanly describes CFS/ME sickness and how it explains that everybody has choosen to ignore it the patiens. (Polititians who deviate funding to other diseases, doctors who don't believe on patients, etc.) It is a pity that it is not available in EU version but only in US version. However, you can solve the problem by watching the film in your laptop.

This film is the best tool to explain what is CFS/ME and raise the political agenda of this diseases. When you see how much research has been done on AIDS in comparison to CFS/ME, it is amaizing that they were both discovered at the same time, specially when you see how many people is affected by CFS/ME.
