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! :woot:
We are (or will be) available in 190 countries around the world and twenty languages. This means even more people can see the film and join the movement for equal access to research, treatment and care.

But being on Netflix doesn't guarantee views. And watching Unrest is only the beginning. To transform awareness into action, we need to organize! Here are three ways you can help.

WATCH AND LEAVE A REVIEW

Watch Unrest again or leave a review. We'd love to get Unrest into Netflix's "Trending Now" section today so casual browsers can stumble upon it and take a look. Views and reviews help. We can do it – with your help!

ORGANIZE A HOUSE PARTY

There's still time to sign up and organize a house party to educate friends and family, and take action together. And now with Unrest's availability on Netflix, it's never been easier!

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?

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 :confused:
 
I finally watched Unrest with my fiance tonight, and it was really really good. I'm saying this as a lifelong hater of documentaries :-P 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 :cool: 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. :)
