Unrest now on Netflix

I asked people with Netflix to check and Unrest is not available in Germany. It's strange that it's on Netflix for our smaller neighbors the Netherlands and Belgium (even with German subtitles) but not in Germany. It would have been a great opportunity to ask more people to watch Unrest and to reach a mainstream audience. I wonder if Netflix deciding to not show it in Germany says something about the non-existing interest in the topic here. No media report or blog post so far and only 2 screenings. I translated the trailer and was so excited and nobody in the German forum was interested or commented. No one commented after it was available as stream with subtitles. Hard to understand.

 

Perhaps Unrest not being on German Netflix is due to some kind of broadcasting rights issue? Hopefully, whatever the reason, if Netflix see high enough viewing figures elsewhere they'll extend it to Germany.

 

Sounds like more countries might be added - just saw the Unrest email from today, Unrest will be on Netflix in 190 countries and in 20 languages!

 

Thats not enough, we need to expand that by 6 to 196
j/k thats extremely impressive

 

Unrest being released on Netflix in Denmark has made the news on one of the most popular and most well respected news sites in Denmark. Appears smack in the middle of the front page.

Title: Documentary scolds danish approach to mysterious illness

The documentary 'Unrest' exposes the treatment of the illness chronic fatigue syndrome / ME by Danish doctors. The movie has just been released on Netflix.

(My somewhat liberal translation, hard to translate the word ''sviner'')

The article also discusses how Denmark appears as the villain of the movie with excerpts from a earlier interview with a danish ME/CFS patient.

 

Something i have wondered does Jen get any royalties from being on Netflix?
If so is it based on the number of views?

 

That's annoying, I told a colleague yesterday to watch it on Netflix. Hopefully it'll turn up soon.

@TiredSam seems to get everywhere

 

I'd be careful about using a fake VPN to get international Netflix access. They started cracking down on that a few months ago, to the point that we couldn't even use their own national IPv6 servers anymore because it registered with them as tunneling

 

@TiredSam @Inara @Philipp Unrest has arrived on Netflix Germany! I'm not on Netflix myself and lead a bedbound grandma-y life, but apparently that's huge!

PS: Als always the German 1-sentence description sucks and under the description it says "Dieser Film ist: Düster".

 

Brilliant, I can tell everyone to watch it

 

I finally watched Unrest with my fiance tonight, and it was really really good. I'm saying this as a lifelong hater of documentaries I could have lived without the mold-avoidance adventures, but so much of it resonated with our experiences and there were some profound moments that would impact anyone watching it.

I think they also did an excellent job of taking on the psychosomatic paradigm, and how horribly serious the disease is. Even the anti-"CFS" advocacy nuts couldn't claim it wasn't taken seriously if they'd actually watched the movie. Unrest features a lot of severe and very severe patients, as well as the deadly consequences ME/CFS can have.

Additionally, I am now a movie star, appearing at around 1 hour 27 minutes on a giant poster during a Millions Missing protest Just think of the lucky bastard that has me hanging up on their wall!

 

I agree with all your points @Valentijn. My only, tiny -- and selfish quibble -- is that they didn't feature any patients dealing with this by themselves. But overall, an excellent film, and the cra-cra opponents of the film and Jen Brea's efforts should be ashamed of themselves.

Now I'll have to watch it again so I can slow it down at the 1 hour 27 minute mark.

 

My blurry moment of fame:

 

I can take it down it if it's too creepy...

 

Nah, it's okay ... I've got a poster of you on my ceiling:

 

Cool, i wondered if you looked at all like your avatar.
Can i ask why you used your screen name while protesting?

 

Is it on Netflix France?

 

Not really ... I make a habit of never wearing orange

To keep somewhat anonymous.

 

So we do have something in common

Did you need a name at all to protest?
