Campers stand at the edge of the water at sunset watching the stars come out, with the CanLyme logo floating in the foreground.

Watch this new trailer on Lyme disease being screened this week at the Hotdocs Festival in Toronto.

“Lyme Disease was first discovered in 1975, yet there has been very little progress for patients. Meanwhile, ticks are spreading life-threatening diseases around the world. Some people are left without a cure, and many without a diagnosis in the first place.

Hopefully it will be available for purchase soon.

Screening will be May 6th, 2022 at 10:30 AM at the Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto, ON
