Copenhagen-based sales company LevelK has released the trailer for their EFM documentary The Red Ring, about the global epidemic of tick-borne infections such as Lyme disease, which will screen at EFM.
In the film, director Joonas Berghäll, who suffers from Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections, seeks both a cure to his illness and answers as to why efforts aren’t made to stop the global Lyme disease epidemic. Joonas meets numerous patients, doctors, researchers and experts around the world in search for an answer to the core question: the patients are real, the symptoms are real, the illness and the bacterias that cause it are real. Why, therefore, is the illness not taken seriously? Why are there hundreds of millions of people suffering?
