Lyme Action Network Presentation

GLENS FALLS — The Lyme Action Network will present a special showing of the internationally acclaimed documentary film, The Quiet Epidemic at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 21, at the Charles R. Wood Theatre, 207 Glen St. 

The film will be followed by an expert panel discussion that will feature the filmmakers, Lindsay Keyes and Winslow Crane-Murdoch; best-selling author and internationally renowned Lyme disease expert and physician, Richard Horowitz, MD; Lyme pioneer and renowned physician, Kenneth Liegner, MD;  best-selling author and investigative journalist, Mary Beth Pfeiffer; microbiologist and nationally recognized patient advocate, Professor Holly Ahern; and others. 

About seven years ago, Capital District natives, Lindsay Keyes and Winslow Crane-Murdoch, were very ill victims of Lyme disease and patients of internationally renowned Hudson Valley Lyme disease physician and expert, Dr. Richard Horowitz.  When Dr. Horowitz’s nurse practitioner, Jennifer Goldstock (who currently has a private practice in Latham), learned that they were both young filmmakers, she introduced them and they jumped at the chance to work together professionally toshine a spotlight on the dangers of Lyme disease and the largely ignored plight suffered by Lyme patients.  

 One of Lindsay’s and Winslow’s first stops was to Uncommon Grounds coffeehouse in Saratoga Springs, where they met with Lyme Action Network founders Chris Fisk and Holly Ahern who helped to map out the scope of the Lyme disease problem and threads to follow in the development of their story. 

Seven years later, the film is complete. Tickets are $15 and are available through the Wood Theater at WoodTheater.org/events
