Unrest.jpg

Unrest is a documentary film about ME/CFS that premiered in January 2017 at the Sundance Film Festival. Jennifer Brea, a patient, directed filming from her sickbed using video conferencing tools.[1][2]. The film was primarily funded through a Kickstarter campaign which raised $212,962.[3]

The film's previous working title was 'Canary in a Coal Mine'.

'Unrest' premiered in competition at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, in the US Documentary category. Brea won the category U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Editing.[4][5]

PBS acquired the US broadcast rights for 'Unrest' and will be shown on Independent Lens January 8, 2018 at 10 PM EST/9PM CNT.[6][7]

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also known as Oscars announced on 7 December 2017 that Unrest was shortlisted as one of 15 films from the original 170 films nominated and advanced for voting for the 90th academy awards [8].
