About this movie

Ratings and reviews

Tbh I was a little disappointed because ,even though it does make the viewer believe that Morgellons is a real physical & mental disease, I dont think it portrays how devastating it truly is. Also, there was only maybe 10 different symptoms mentioned and I for one have had over 50 different symptoms, many of them bizarre, come and go. Lastly, I wish they had gone " down the rabbit hole " at least a little bit. But it was nicely done and a good "part one" in a story that is still unfolding.

This work of fiction is so far off point and full of lies about Morgellons disease. This is what's called propaganda. When the Germans used it they used it on enemies, not their own people. There is a plathera real information about morgellons that gets oppressed all the time by garbage productions like this one.

I have fibro. For years, decades even, fibromyalgia was said to be false and mental. I don’t doubt these people have something and they are suffering and need answers. Quit telling people their condition is mental because what they have isn’t an easily resolved issue. Everyone needs to be taken seriously with their health.
