The numbers are frightening: according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 200,000 people may be infected with Lyme disease annually. Yet despite the fact that new cases of Lyme disease outnumber new cases of AIDS, West Nile Virus, and Avian Flu combined, this frightening malady seems to go virtually ignored in the mainstream media. In this documentary, filmmaker Andy Abrahams Wilson speaks with six Lyme disease patients and the small but dedicated group of physicians who put their medical licenses on the lines in order to treat the disease that the Infections Diseases Society of America (an organization populated by many individuals who have troubling ties to the health insurance industry) claims is entirely treatable with antibiotics and, in may cases, psychosomatic. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

New Review For Movie Under Our Skin
We may not get to argue both sides of the debate, but Under Our Skin stirs the deepest emotions and reveals the most unsettling truth: We're all vulnerable to a tick bite, sure, but it's the health care system that really gets us in the end.Justin Berton-San Francisco Chronicle
Heartbreaking stories of patients suffering life-shattering illness make "Under Our Skin'' compelling. It would have been an even better movie if the filmmakers had been more diligent in following the money.
Joel Brown-Boston Globe
Frightening, powerful stuff.
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
Under Our Skin has a major ax to grind, but if even half of what it alleges is true, it's more deeply terrifying than any slasher film you'll ever see.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
Scary enough to make the faint of heart decide never to venture into the woods or to lie on the grass again without protective covering.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
Under Our Skin is a frightening documentary about Lyme disease, so called because it was first noticed in Lyme, Conn.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post
An infectiously persuasive account of chronic Lyme, a disease that has politicized the medical community.
Sarah Sluis-Film Journal International
What concerns Wilson is why there is so little public discussion of the most common vector-borne disease in the country, and why the disease has become so politicized and controversial.
Ian Buckwalter-DCist
Well-researched investigative medical documentary over the hidden story of Lyme disease.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The information it presents is eye-opening for medical consumers and health professionals of any stripe. And the film incidentally makes a great case for health care reform.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
This far-ranging documentary is a real eye opener, presenting its wealth of information and analysis in a clear, well-flowing manner.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
The film is certainly interesting, but considering its excessive running time, very little is given over to the opposing view...One doctor's court trial never makes it clear if any of patients had less than desirable results.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
This compelling account of the explosive growth of Lyme disease grows to encompass all the peculiar politics, corruption and inertia of American medicine.
Michael Sragow-Baltimore Sun
The medical establishment bows under a new disease and patients suffer while insurance companies look the other way.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
Too overstuffed with conspiracy babbling and endless artsy nature photography to have a genuine impact.
Phil Hall-Film Threat
A vital, insightful, brave and moving documentary that will wake you up and shake you up to the harsh realities of Lyme disease.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
Only in its investigation into these downright evil motives does it take on the necessary role of activist, and [...] I wish it had gone further and deeper.
Rob Humanick-Projection Booth
Definitively shows that chronic Lyme disease is a growing problem that has not been given a fair shake by the medical establishment.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
Under My Skin is well-produced and engaging, but it's also anecdotal and conspiratorial, and damnably non-confrontational.
Noel Murray-AV Club
