Film to show 'darkest moments' of M.E.

Condition affects 300 people on Island

Next weekend an Oscar nominated film on the struggles of a Harvard PhD student who has M.E, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is screening in the capital.

'Unrest' is a documentary directed by Jennifer Brea, which tells her story of facing the crushing disease shortly before getting married.

The film's showing at the Broadway Cinema in the Villa Marina on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November, after being requested by the Isle of Man M.E Association.

Each screening starts at 4:30 pm and tickets are £6.

Organisers hope it shed's some light on the debilitating conditions, which affects around 300 people on the Island - there is currently no specialist service here for those with M.E.
