No Longer Silent and Hidden
No longer silent and hidden, “Unrest” effectively, artistically, and beautifully brings the topic of ME/CFS out into the open for all to see.First-time director and patient Jen Brea presents the illness in a multi-dimensional manner, demonstrating the full reality of this complex disease. The severity and seriousness of the illness is conveyed, along with moments of grace, humor, resilience, and cinematographic artistry. In addition, the trajectory of ME/CFS is historically explained and includes interviews with prominent researchers in the field in order to provide the audience with the scientific underpinnings of the illness.
I recommend this film not only for patients with ME/CFS but for anyone who loves the cinema. “Unrest” stands alone on its own merits as an interesting, well-made documentary. It is also enlightening for those who suffer from related illnesses, as the experiences portrayed in the film can be quite similar.
An important, yet difficult to watch film
Part of me had been putting off watching this. I’m glad I finally took the plunge though, because it’s a well made film that has perhaps been the most important thing to happen to the CFS/ME community.It was tough to watch. As a sufferer myself, just watching this film brought up a whole range of potential issues: would it make me emotional? Would that cause me to burn-out or have a flare up? Would it make me depressed? Would I be embarrassed watching it with someone else?
One thing it certainly achieved, was putting my own illness in perspective. It made me grateful for the things I “do” have, despite having CFS/ME. It made me grateful that I’m not bedridden. It broke my heart to see those who are and the intimate realities of their lives. I also found it inspiring to see those sufferers still maintaining some resemblance of a life.
The “millions missing” movement to raise awareness was perhaps the most emotionally difficult part of the film for me. Because I could relate. That “missing” out on life aspect of the illness really struck home. At times, I found the film had an overwhelming depressing tone, which was difficult to digest and a reason I often don’t involve myself with support groups.
Overall, this is a well-made documentary that should be seen by everyone in the medical world. I hope it helps sufferers and their families too. I think it helped me, and for that I’m grateful.
