Under Our Skin: A Health Care Nightmare 
"In the 1970s, a mysterious and deadly illness began infecting children in a small town in Connecticut. Today it's a global epidemic. A gripping tale of microbes, medicine & money, this program exposes the hidden story of Lyme disease. Following the stories of patients fighting for their lives, the film reveals with beauty and terror a natural world out of balance and a human nature all too willing to put profits before patients."  http://www.underourskin.com/
