It’s the final Tuesday of the month which means a That’s So: episode! Today I’m chatting with Miranda Allen and we are talking about the award winning documentary Unrest and all things myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS)

Unrest was created by Jennifer Brae who is an independent documentary filmmaker based in LA. Jennifer was studying towards her PhD at Harvard, when suddenly a mysterious illness left her bedridden. She decided to turn the camera on herself, and document the process. What unfolded over the next few years was an eventual diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.
