It was filmed and edited between 20 by the brother and mother of an ME patient in the UK.

“Voices from the Shadows” shows the brave and sometimes heartrending stories of five ME patients and their carers, along with input from Dr Nigel Speight, Prof Leonard Jason and Prof Malcolm Hooper. This moving documentary has been like a shot heard around the world as it has precipitated an increasing awareness of the severely ill and highlighted the prejudice against patients and the unwitting but pernicious harm done by too many health care professionals.” Professor Leonard Jason, Director of the Center for Community Research “The reach of this riveting film has been extraordinary, and it has significantly influenced the debate on seriously ill youth with ME. The film is in English with subtitles in Swedish, Dutch, Spanish, French, Italian, Czech, German, Japanese and English. It is intended to educate those who are not familiar with the illness and issues surrounding it. Please remember this film is not suitable for children and young people with ME who may be distressed by viewing it.
