UNDER OUR SKIN
ABOUT
A chilling tale of microbes, medicine and money, this Oscar-shortlisted film has changed the landscape of the Lyme epidemic, bringing unprecedented awareness in an engaging and accessible way. The definitive record of the Lyme controversy, UNDER OUR SKIN exposes a hidden story of medical and scientific malfeasance and neglect. As official case numbers explode and hundreds of thousands of people around the world go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, the film is as relevant and timely as ever.
Founder and president of Open Eye Pictures, Andrew Abrahams (aka Andy Abrahams Wilson) is an Oscar-shortlisted and Emmy-nominated producer/director of creative non-fiction films. He also works as a cinematographer and photographer. After enrolling in the Medill School of Journalism, Andrew received a BA in cultural anthropology from Northwestern University and an MA in visual anthropology from the University of Southern California where he also studied at the School of Cinema. Andrew’s approach emphasizes visual imagery as a way to bridge disparate parts, peoples and ideas. While his work takes on controversial themes, he uses the filmmaking process as an opportunity to encourage compassion and action.
