Relevium (2021)

We follow Dr. Lucinda Bateman as she shares her lifelong work studying, researching, and treating patients suffering with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Fibromyalgia. We also explore the center dedicated to her sister's memory that is desperately trying to find relief or more importantly, a cure. This is an underdog story that deeply dives into the world of an illness that the victims don't receive help from many doctors, family members, and society in general. Many believe that this illness is all in their heads. The documentary is three fold. One, the story of Dr. Bateman and her work. Secondly, exploring this mysterious illness that has caused controversy and skepticism for decades. And finally, her legacy that is already inspiring a new crop of medical professionals that will continue the cause.
