29/05/21: From RoseE Worth including a link to the 'Left Out' film that followed the researchers (Norwegian oncologists, Øystein Fluge & Olav Mella) and people in the Norwegian ME/CFS community as they await and hear the outcome of the Rituximab study? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEQjjYVZzxk

"A visual, brutally honest story on life with ME/CFS and new research (English & German subtitles) Directed and filmed by Pål Schaathun Producer: Jonathan Borge Lie, UpNorth Film Film editor: Morten Øvreås Composer: Kato Ådland Financed by Fritt Ord, Vestnorsk Filmsenter, TV 2 Norway and Pål Schaathun UpNorth Film © International release 2020"

Cort Johnson, Health Rising said "It was a project birthed in hope. Pal Schaathun, a Norwegian filmmaker would document what he hoped might be the end of chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). That, unfortunately, turned out not to be but Schaathun ended up documenting – in strikingly beautiful fashion – the next best thing. He managed to vividly portray the needs, hopes and desires of a community desperately yearning for health as it embarked on its first real shot for success." https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2020/02/03/left-out-rituximab-chronic-fatigue-me-cfs/
