The Quiet Epidemic Film Presentation at the U.S. Capitol November 20th
The Quiet Epidemic Film Presentation at the U.S. Capitol
Please join us on Capitol Hill for a special presentation of the award-winning documentary The Quiet Epidemic
Hosted by Senator Richard Blumenthal, with a special appearance by Chris Meloni, Actor & Global Lyme Alliance Celebrity Ambassador
Since the earliest days of production, the team and supporters behind The Quiet Epidemic hoped the film might one day screen on Capitol Hill, and that moment has arrived.
Please join us for a free and open to the public presentation of The Quiet Epidemic on Wednesday, November 20th, from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM, at the U.S. Capitol. The film will be preceded by a reception and followed by a discussion and Q&A with the film’s subjects, experts and actor Chris Meloni.
While the event is free to attend, RSVPs via Eventbrite are required for entry. You’ll find a PDF invitation attached to this email which includes the RSVP link—please circulate this widely, as our team is prohibited from promoting the event on social media. Details regarding the exact venue location within the Capitol will be sent to all registrants via Eventbrite approximately one week prior to November 20th.
The Quiet Epidemic team would like to thank our generous sponsors who have made our Capitol Hill events possible: LymeLight Foundation, Global Lyme Alliance, Sarena Snider, Project Lyme, NatCapLyme and lymeLNK. Among our sponsors are The Quiet Epidemic Executive Producers Phyllis & Scott Bedford—founders of LymeLight Foundation—and Sarena Sarena, each of whom generously supported the creation of the film itself, the film’s festival tour and release, and our team since the very beginning.
Please share the Eventbrite link and the attached PDF with anyone in your network who may wish to attend this event—especally those in the Washington D.C. area. We also encourage you to invite your representatives and include a brief statement about the impact Lyme has had on your life, and the prevalence in their state.
