Quand les tiques attaquent ! (2014)

This production lifts the veil on a little-known disease caused by the bite of infected black-legged ticks: Lyme disease. Discussing its transmission methods, its spread, its devastating effects on victims, the prognostic and the treatments, this documentary reveals an infectious disease growing in Quebec and round the world.

In 1951 at Fort Detrick, Maryland, construction crews built a hollow metal sphere four stories high. Inside germ weapons were to be exploded, creating mists of infectious aerosols for testing on animals....and people. Employees called it the eight ball. In their eighteen month long journey Grey and Russell travel the country in search of answers and interview top experts in the world of Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases. Under the Eight ball includes live footage, historical documents, original animation and archival military footage.

Exposes the hidden epidemic of Lyme disease and reveals how our corrupt health care system is failing to address one of the most serious illnesses of our time.

Director, Joonas Berghäll, suffers from chronic Lyme disease. He looks for a cure to his illness and by doing so finds himself thrown into the midst of a worldwide lobby-driven and political medical debate about Lyme disease and the threat of it becoming the next wide scale epidemic.

Отец и сын — любители поохотиться на оленей. Каждый год они приезжают в охотничий клуб, где встречают старых знакомых и вместе отправляются убивать невинных животных. И всё бы ничего если бы не одна заболевшая и пропавшая в лесах старушка с весьма странными симптомами… Мать одного и, по совместительству, жена второго главных героев по телевизору узнаёт об ужасном вирусе (бешенстве) который передаётся от оленей к людям и, конечно же, спешит предупредить своих близких. Жаль, что они уже ушли глубоко в лес и опробовали первую рогатую жертву на вкус.

In 1984-85, people at Lake Tahoe fell ill with flu symptoms, but they didn't get better. Medical literature documents similar outbreaks: in 1934 at LA county hospital, in 1948-49 in Iceland, in 1956 in Punta Gorda, Florida. The malady now has a name, chronic fatigue syndrome, and filmmaker Kim Snyder, who suffered from the disease for several years, tells her story and talks to victims and their families, and to physicians and researchers: is it viral, it is psychosomatic, is it one disease or several (a syndrome) ; what's the CDC doing about it; what's it like to have a disease that's not yet understood? Her inquiry takes her to Punta Gorda and to a high-school graduation.

Rudy and Claire decide to go on a camping trip for their anniversary. Unbeknown to them, there are mutated ticks lurking in the same woods, ready to drain them dry.

A man slowly loses his mind as a strange ticking noise destroys his life.
