The Quiet Epidemic - Delaware County Lyme Support Group

After years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for answers, which lands them in the middle of a medical controversy. What begins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease, dating back to its discovery in 1975.

The Quiet Epidemic premiered at the prestigious Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in Toronto in Spring 2022, where it was voted into the Top 20 out of 200+ films. It has since been featured in 20 additional festivals (Hamptons Int’l Film Festival, DOC NYC, Woodstock Film Festival, Mill Valley Film Festival) and won five festival awards. The Quiet Epidemic qualified for the 2022 Academy Awards and had a successful limited theatrical run in early 2023.

Directions and Parking

The auditorium is in the Academic Building on Delaware County Community College's campus. If entering from Rt 252, follow Loop Road to back of campus where you will see signs for "Visitor's Parking." Choose any of the visitor parking lots. There will be a gate, push button and identify yourself as "Visitor." Parking is free.

If you have mobility issues or are in a wheelchair, recommendation is to have someone drop you off by the entrance to the large orange building (you can't miss it!). The theater is in the building BEHIND that large orange building but there are sidewalks and auditorium is accessible.

Look for the volunteer(s) holding up lime green signs who will direct you to the auditorium.
