Under Our Skin to Screen in Portland/Two

Hi everyone,


You are officially invited to the screening of "Under Our Skin," which is a documentary telling the stories of Lyme sufferers, the Lyme epidemic, and the controversy. The main screening will occur on Saturday, September 26, at 2p at the Hollywood Theatre (NE 42nd Avenue & Sandy Boulevard). Cost is regular price of admission. A few more screenings will be shown on that same weekend.

Immediately after the main screening, we will have a 30-minute panel to answer questions from the audience. This panel includes one medical doctor aggressively treating Lyme Disease, one naturopath who not only treats Lyme but also suffers from the disease herself, and two Lymies from the Portland-Metro area who have some interesting connections to the film.

In addition to the panel, we will have a professional photographer on hand to take free, individual portrait shots of all Lymies in attendance - so bring your glam! The idea is to not only gift Lymies with something special to take home with them (something most Lymies cannot afford), but there's also an idea floating around to use these photos to publish a book of stories about the Lymies in the Portland area. (We'll see. Let's get through the film event first.)

Please pass the word about this film screening to your friends, family, doctors, health practitioners, churches, government officials, and community groups.
