==== Unrest film ==== '''‘[[Unrest]]’ documents lives of ME patients'''<ref>{{citation |last = Moody|first = Frances | date = 17 January 2017 | title = 'Unrest' documents lives of ME patients|url= http://www.parkrecord.com/entertainment/sundance-slamdance/unrest-documents-lives-of-me-patients/|newspaper= Park Record|location= Park City, UT |access-date= }}</ref> ''Park Record'' By: Frances Moody. (Jan 17, 2017) "Trying to ignore bouts of excruciating muscle pain, Jennifer Brea forced herself to walk home after a doctor diagnosed her with myalgic encephalomyelitis, commonly called chronic fatigue syndrome." '''Sundance 2017: ‘Unrest’ Is An Emotional Look At Human Strength'''<ref>{{citation |last = Booth|first = Kaitlyn | date = 23 January 2017 | title = 'Unrest' Is An Emotional Look At Human Strength|url= https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/01/23/sundance-2017-unrest-emotional-watch/#comment-anchor|newspaper= Bleeding Cool|location= Rantoul, IL |access-date= }}</ref> ''Bleeding Cool'' By: Kaitlyn Booth. (Jan 23, 2017) "Unrest takes a very frank look at the often misunderstood illness known as ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’ that is both informative and hard to watch." ''''Unrest': Film Review | Sundance 2017'''<ref>{{citation |last = DeFore | first = John | date = 23 January 2017 | title = 'Unrest': Film Review Sundance 2017|url= http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/unrest-review-967867|newspaper= The Hollywood Reporter|location= Los Angeles, CA|access-date= }}</ref> '''The Hollywood Reporter'' By: John DeFore. (Jan 23, 2017) "Late in Jennifer Brea's Unrest, a doctor informs us that Multiple Sclerosis, the devastating nervous system disorder, was viewed by doctors as a "hysterical" illness — one essentially invented in the sufferer's own mind — right up until the CAT scan was introduced, allowing previously dismissive doctors to see what was going on inside their patients' bodies. Unrest finds a similar difficulty facing people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a debilitating but controversial disorder that is barely understood and in some quarters denied entirely. Using her own experience with the syndrome as a springboard, Brea offers an affecting film that, when made available on video, will be embraced by the millions suffering CFS worldwide." '''Sundance Film Review: ‘Unrest’'''<ref>{{citation |last = Harvey|first = Dennis | date = 23 January 2017 | title = Sundance Film Review: ‘Unrest’|url= http://variety.com/2017/film/markets-festivals/unrest-sundance-film-festival-1201966610/|newspaper= Variety|location= Los Angeles, CA|access-date= }}</ref> ''Variety'' By: Dennis Harvey. (Jan 23, 2017) "A largely mysterious condition that reportedly afflicts as many as 17 million people worldwide, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome still flummoxes most physicians, and remains frequently dismissed as a psychosomatic “illness” — including by some nations. Still, it’s hard to buy the “all in your head” diagnosis when seeing the long-term, sometimes entirely bedridden victims of CFS in “Unrest.” Director Jennifer Brea is one of them herself, and this first-feature documentary chronicles her own struggles while taking in the perspectives of other patients and experts around the globe. Though the “Patient, film thyself” concept is starting to risk overexposure — Sundance alone premieres two such features this year, the other being ALS-themed “It’s Not Dark Yet” — “Unrest” is a high-grade example of the form that’s consistently involving, with content diverse enough to avoid the tunnel-visioned pitfalls of diarist cinema." '''Jennifer Brea Filmed Her Sundance Premiere Without Leaving Bed — And it Saved Her Life'''<ref>{{citation |last = Buder | first = Emily | date = 23 January 2017 | title = Jennifer Brea Filmed Her Sundance Premiere Without Leaving Bed — And it Saved Her Life|url= http://nofilmschool.com/2017/01/unrest-jennifer-brea-interview-sundance-2017|newspaper= No Film School|location= Brooklyn, NY|access-date= }}</ref> ''No Film School'' By: Emily Buder. (Jan 23, 2017) "One day, Jennifer Brea woke up to find that her life had been stolen from her. The newly engaged Harvard PhD student couldn't write her own name. She couldn't get out of bed; when she tried, she would collapse on the ground in pain and utter exhaustion. She could barely talk. She couldn't even draw a circle." '''How Great Human Beings Find Their Purpose'''<ref>{{citation |last = Kasanoff|first = Bruce | date = 22 January 2017 | title = How Great Human Beings Find Their Purpose|url= https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-great-human-beings-find-purpose-bruce-kasanoff|newspaper= LinkedIn - What Inspires Me|location= Mountain View, CA|access-date= }}</ref> ''LinkedIn - What Inspires Me'' By: Bruce Kasanoff. (Jan 22, 2017) "It's probably a mistake to think you were "born to be" an entrepreneur, cure cancer, or become an actor. Your purpose is not just a function of your inherent talents, but rather the product of how those talents interact with what life throws in your path." '''Entrepreneur Needed To Cure Anti-Initiative Disease'''<ref>{{citation |last = Kasanoff|first = Bruce | date = 26 January 2017 | title = Entrepreneur Needed To Cure Anti-Initiative Disease|url= http://www.forbes.com/sites/brucekasanoff/2017/01/26/entrepreneur-needed-to-cure-anti-initiative-disease/#4f1a7bb52d88|newspaper= Forbes - Leadership|location= Jersey City, NJ |access-date= }}</ref> ''Forbes - Leadersip'' By: Bruce Kasanoff. (Jan 26, 2017) "Perhaps 20 million people worldwide have had their lives curtailed by what I'm calling the Anti-Initiative disease. (In a moment, I'll tell you its more traditional names.) This disease is horrific in that it literally punishes its victims when they display initiative. For example, if a patient who can't get out of bed for weeks then has a good day and decides to go sit in her backyard, she may then be dramatically worse for months." '''‘Unrest’ Review: A Personal Look at Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, With Powerful Results — Sundance 2017'''<ref>{{citation |last = Kohn | first = Eric | date = 27 January 2017 | title = 'Unrest' Review: A Personal Look at Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, With Powerful Results — Sundance 2017|url= http://www.indiewire.com/2017/01/unrest-review-jennifer-brea-sundance-2017-documentary-1201774204/|newspaper= Indie Wire|location= USA |access-date= }}</ref> ''Indie Wire'' By: Erik Kohn. (Jan 27, 2017) "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome — otherwise known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis — receives little exposure in the media and often goes misdiagnosed, even as it afflicts tens of thousands of people worldwide. Jennifer Brea’s stirring documentary “Unrest” goes a long way toward explaining the nature of the disease and the devastating impact it can have on family life, deriving much of its power from her own encounter with it." '''Sundance review: ‘Unrest’'''<ref>{{citation |last = Means | first = Sean P. | date = 26 January 2017 | title = Sundance review: ‘Unrest’|url= http://www.sltrib.com/home/4867522-155/sundance-review-unrest|newspaper= The Salt Lake Tribune|location= |access-date= }}</ref> ''The Salt Lake Tribune'' By: Sean P. Means. (Jan 26, 2017) "Filmmaker Jennifer Brea gets deeply personal in her documentary "Unrest," as she chronicles her debilitating illness and meets other sufferers around the world — all without leaving her bed." '''10 Kick-Ass Women Filmmakers to Know from Sundance 2017'''<ref>{{citation |last = Farmer | first = Shelly | date = Jan 25, 2017 | title = 10 Kick-Ass Women Filmmakers to Know from Sundance 2017|url= http://www.papermag.com/10-women-filmmakers-watch-sundance-2017-2201353209.html|newspaper= Paper|location= NY City|access-date= }}</ref> ''Paper'' By: Shelly Farmer. (Jan 25, 2017) "Princeton alum Jennifer Brea was pursuing a PhD in political science at Harvard when she was suddenly struck with a mysterious, debilitating illness. Left bedridden and only able to shoot two days a month, Brea – a Sundance Institute Fellow – turned the camera on herself in Unrest, chronicling her struggles with the little-understood myalgic encephalomyelitis (better known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and her connection with four other families grappling with similar health issues." '''Sundance: Medical Mystery Doc 'Unrest' Nabbed by PBS (Exclusive)'''<ref>{{citation |last = Siegel|first = Tatiana | date = 31 January 2017 | title = Sundance: Medical Mystery Doc 'Unrest' Nabbed by PBS (Exclusive)|url= http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sundance-medical-mystery-doc-unrest-nabbed-by-pbs-968176|newspaper= The Hollywood Reporter|location= Los Angeles, CA|access-date= }}</ref> ''The Hollywood Reporter'' By: Tatiana Siegel. (Jan 31, 2017) "The medical mystery doc Unrest has been solved by PBS. The network has acquired U.S. broadcast rights for its Emmy Award-winning series Independent Lens." '''Sind Vorurteile gegen kranke Menschen geschlechtsspezifisch?'''<ref>{{citation |last = Schickendanz|first = Melanie | date = 2 January 2017 | title = Sind Vorurteile gegen kranke Menschen geschlechtsspezifisch?|url= http://www.huffingtonpost.de/melanie-schickedanz/sind-vorurteile-gegen-kra_b_14544026.html|newspaper= The Huffington Post - Germany|location= Munich|access-date= }}</ref> German Language ''The Huffington Post - Germany'' By: Melanie Schickendanz. (Jan 2, 2017) "Im Oktober 2013 startete Jennifer Brea eine Kampagne über Kickstarter, bei der es darum ging, Geld für eine Dokumentation namens Unrest (damals Canary in a Coal Mine) über die Krankheit ME (Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis, auch bekannt als chronisches Erschöpfungssyndrom bzw. CFS) zu sammeln. Nach drei Tagen waren schon 50.000 US-Dollar zusammengekommen. Am Ende hatten über 2.500 Unterstützer eine Summe von 212.692 US-Dollar gespendet." '''If you have to shoot your own illness to show that you are not crazy?'''<ref>{{citation |last = Thorup|first = Mette-Line | date = 16 March 2017 | title = If you have to shoot your own illness to show that you are not crazy?|url= https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.information.dk%2Findland%2F2017%2F03%2Fnoedt-filme-egen-sygdom-vise-tosset&edit-text=&act=url|newspaper= Information |location= Denmark|access-date= }}</ref> ''Information'' By: Meete-Kine Thorup (Mar 16, 2017) Google Translated "A woman moans tormented in a gritty dark. She is lying on a wooden floor and trying to rise by supporting arms against the ground, but fail back. She pushes instead toward the bed under the great effort and with a camera turned against itself in one hand." '''New film about chronically tired: their cells are sick - doctors and friends say they just need to get their act together'''<ref>{{citation |last = Rasmussen | first = Lars Igum | date = 17 March 2017 | title = New film about chronically tired: their cells are sick - doctors and friends say they just need to get their act together |url= https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpolitiken.dk%2Fforbrugogliv%2Fsundhedogmotion%2Fart5874906%2FDeres-celler-i-kroppen-er-syge-%25E2%2580%2593-l%25C3%25A6ger-og-venner-siger-de-bare-skal-tage-sig-sammen&edit-text=&act=url|newspaper= Politiken |location= Denmark|access-date= }}</ref> ''Politiken'' By: Lars Igum Rasmussen (Mar 17, 2017) Google Translated "The American graduate student at Harvard University Jennifer Brea could everything."
