What Doesn't Kill You
Lives in the grip of ME/CFS

✓ Coming in 2025
✓ 100% of profit reinvested in ME/CFS research and education

"What Doesn't Kill You" is a forthcoming documentary exploring the lives of people battling ME/CFS, a scandalously underfunded and chronically ignored disease.

Through intimate interviews with patients, families, healthcare providers, and researchers, the film illuminates the daily reality of living with this chronic illness while championing the resilience of the human spirit.

While being honest about the harsh reality of recovery rates, "What Doesn't Kill You" has a special focus on the stories of progress that give hope to millions fighting for their lives without adequate recognition or resources.

Looking at the website and the trailer, it doesn't look as though the film is going to end with the wife of one of the filmmakers getting a phone call from a helpful Norwegian person and suddenly realising that she doesn't have to be confined to her dark room. i.e. it looks realistic and legit and made with completely good intent.

I agree. From the trailer, it looks like a talented film-maker as well. This quote hit me like a train:

Spoiler: Teaser quote

She said "Write down everything I say." Yeah, I should be writing down everything you say. Because you put so much effort into these words.

"My own personal goal for today is to not use my arms."

"Shoot me. If you leave me alive like this, you hate me."
