[Sasha]

In New York? Come see a sneak peak of Canary, a documentary film about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. (Still very much a work in progress!)

Join us March 9th at BRIC FLIX in Brooklyn. I'll be speaking and showing an excerpt of the film. Tickets are free and first come, first serve so RSVP now.

More details below.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we will show excerpts of films made by and about women and talk about the impact of women behind the lens. Selected pieces include Born to Fly about Elizabeth Streb and the STREB Extreme Action Company; Speed Sisters, the first all-woman race car driving team in the Middle East and Canary in a Coal Mine, a woman’s story about suffering with a debilitating disease.

BRIC FLIX will partner with Chicken & Egg Pictures to support women non-fiction filmmakers whose artful and innovative storytelling catalyzes social change.

This was recently shown at a Boston support group meeting. And was shown last fall at a MA CFIDS meeting. Don't think it was a finished product then though.

I doubt it's remotely finished but still enough for them to have done a bit of a preview.

Pretty sure it is finished, but not positive.

Massachusetts CFIDS/ME & FM Association News
Hello everyone,

You are invited to join us for a screening of the film "Forgotten Plague" which will be shown at our next Brighton ME/CFS/FM Support Group meeting, Tuesday Jan 12, 2016, at 6 p.m. Location is St. Margaret's Center building, Room 5, at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, 736 Cambridge Street, Brighton, MA 02135, 617-789-3000. Get directions at http://www.semc.org/St-Elizabeths/Patient-and-Visitor-Information/Directions.

"Forgotten Plague" tells "the great under-reported medical story of our times." The film is an 80-minute journey into the hidden world of myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome). It is a chilling tale of our medical system’s failures in addressing many chronic, complex diseases. Yet it is also a riveting story of science’s remarkable ability to transform medicine and improve human life itself.

This is a gripping, yet easy-to-understand story about ME/CFS, and appropriate for all audiences. We can have a short discussion after the screening. Bring a family member or friend! You will not be disappointed.

Please RSVP to info@masscfids.org if you are planning to come so we can be sure to have enough chairs in the room.

See you next week,

Charmian

This announcement doesn't seem to indicate that the product is not finished.

Folks are mixing up two movies. "Forgotten Plague" was made by Ryan Prior and is now finished. "Canary in a Coal Mine" is the film Jen Brea crowdfunded and is still working on.

@Sasha or anyone with info- will they do other early screenings in other cities or only in New York?

I'm afraid I don't have any other info - but Canary can be contacted directly. I suspect they're taking opportunities as they come up.
