Unveiling The Quiet Epidemic, an Interview with Co-Directors Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch 

Does chronic Lyme really exist? And if it does, why is this illness so controversial? These questions only lead to more questions. Film-makers Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch passionately set out to uncover the answers. The result? A brilliant and powerful film, The Quiet Epidemic. In this episode, Liza interviews co-directors Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch to learn the back story on how and why they created this important documentary. Turns out, passion is one immense driving force to heal. Now, they’ve ignited a new movement to help others impacted by this debilitating illness known as chronic Lyme.

Their film, The Quiet Epidemic, was just released on Apple TV, Prime Video, and Vimeo on Demand on May 16, 2023. Be part of this bold movement. Listen now to this inspiring interview to hear the real-life stories of hope and purpose driving the creation of this impactful film.

About the film, The Quiet Epidemic

After years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for answers, which lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate. What begins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of scientific research and buried documents reveals why ticks—and the diseases they carry—have been allowed to quietly spread around the globe.

CO-DIRECTORS’ ORIGIN STORY

In 2015, each of us was forced to move home with our families in upstate New York due to Lyme disease. Upon learning we were filmmakers with Lyme, a nurse suggested we connect—so Lindsay wrote Winslow a note that was handed to him the next day. Thrust into the middle of a controversial medical mystery, we used our cameras to understand the disease that upended our lives. Seven years later, The Quiet Epidemic is the result. An estimated 500,000 people are infected with Lyme each year and 10-20% of them remain sick after treatment. Even still, Chronic Lyme is dismissed by mainstream medicine. We hope our film can awaken the public to this threat and re-engage the medical and scientific communities on finding answers for a disease that is as close as our own backyard.

FILM DIRECTORS

Lindsay Keys is a director, producer, cinematographer and photographer based in the desert outside of Los Angeles. She has shot still and motion content for clients ranging from Bernie Sanders to The Whitney Museum. Her photography has been exhibited internationally, published in The New York Times, Time Out Magazine, Interview Magazine, and auctioned at Christie’s. While attending Wesleyan University (‘11), Lindsay’s health began deteriorating with no explanation. Upon getting a diagnosis of Lyme disease in 2015, she began working on The Quiet Epidemic and spent the next seven years dedicated to its completion. This is her first feature film.

Winslow Crane-Murdoch is a director, cinematographer and editor based in Portland, OR. Since graduating from Connecticut College in 2013 where he studied film, his work has taken him across the country and overseas. He made an episodic series about student loan debt, hiked and filmed a 3,000 km walk across New Zealand for Outside Television and has shot and directed for large brands and political campaigns. He was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2015 and began working on The Quiet Epidemic shortly after. This is his first feature film.

If you are ready to take control of your healing journey, listen to this empowering episode today.

Bill Rawls is an OB-GYN and leading expert in Lyme disease, integrative health, and herbal medicine. In the middle of his successful medical career, Dr. Rawls’ life was interrupted by Lyme disease.

As he struggled to overcome it, he explored nearly every treatment possible – from conventional medicine to a range of alternative therapies. In the process, Dr. Rawls discovered a dearth of knowledge about Lyme disease in the medical community, and a shocking amount of controversy and confusion around causes, diagnosis, and treatment that left thousands of patients confused, unsupported, and chronically ill.

An avid reader and lifelong student, Dr. Rawls studied all of the research available on Lyme disease, and put everything he learned into practice in his own life. Ultimately, it was a combination of diet, lifestyle, and herbal therapy that resulted in his recovery.

In the more than 10 years since, Dr. Rawls has helped thousands of patients find their path to healing from Lyme disease and chronic illness. He is the author of the best-selling book Unlocking Lyme, and the Medical Director of RawlsMD.com and Vital Plan, an online holistic health company and Certified B Corporation®.

What if all our suffering is actually happening for us? That’s the empowering message of Liza’s guest, Bianca Michele. Bianca suffered for six years battling chronic Lyme disease, mold, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), as well as Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), while her Australian doctors misdiagnosed her and called her a ‘mystery case.’

When we endure suffering, many of us ask ‘why me’. Today, Bianca shares her story, as well as the many lessons and modalities that helped her find the purpose within her own pain. To heal her body and her complex conditions, Bianca also began healing her nervous system, energy systems and her inner child.

Her new book, It Happened for Me, is a #1 new release on Amazon. In it, Bianca shares her best lessons that shaped her empowering mindset, and she reveals a select few in this inspirational episode. While we may find ourselves kicking and screaming through this healing journey, ultimately the events in our lives happen for us. The good news? All the power to overcome is within ourselves. Bianca navigates us through her own healing journey and helps us break through the dark cycles so we can all heal.
