Unrest is in the running for this year's Independent Lens Audience Award, which honors fans’ favorite film of the PBS Show's season. CAST YOUR VOTE today to promote visibility for ME! https://to.pbs.org/2sVS8Vy

This film has become a major tool in advocating for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis visibility and health equality. Winning this award would generate not renewed interest in not only Unrest, but this extremely misunderstood disease that effects millions.

I don't think I should vote in this poll. I have not seen any of the other Independent Lens films, so how can I give a fair judgement of which one I think is the best?

They just ask you for your favourite, I voted for Unrest since that's the only one I've seen and it's indeed my favourite. :p
Otherwise you could only vote if you've seen them all to give a fair judgement.
 
There are some interesting sounding films in that list.

Like Trish I'm unsure about voting. I've also never watched PBS
 
I didn't feel bad about voting. I have not seen all the films but I have seen several - I think 5?

I do record Independent Lens on my DVR regularly. Then I look at the description of the program, maybe watch a few minutes, and decide whether I want to watch the whole thing.

My impression is that "audience favorite" awards like this are often voted on by people who have not seen all the films. The films that have the most buzz, and are spread by word of mouth, often win these votes. It's the nature of this type of poll.

But I would not want anyone to vote if they don't feel comfortable about it.
