Has nearly 2000 signatures after just 2 days. For those who haven't seen the docu-series, it's incredibly exploitative of people with invisible chronic illnesses, including me/CFS, Lyme, and MCS. Heavily edited and skewed to portray the patients chronicled as having psychosomatic illnessnes. I've seen at least some of those in the film say they were lied to about the nature of the series (and agreed to participate based on assurances of it being factual and scientific). The patients had no say in the final product, which they are outraged by because of how it ultimately dismisses and exploits them and their suffering.
