is there a text summary of each section of the movie, or a transcript? i won't be able to watch the movie. i'd like also to know of a clip of some of jen's and other subjects' symptoms [no bigots or bad guys shown]. finally, is there a description of /all/ of the symptoms of some of them?

I am not sure how many people have managed to see the film Unrest with Jennifer Brea but if you have seen it then do put a rating on any film review websites such as Rotten Tomatoes. I am hoping by doing this we can get even more people to see it and continue to raise awareness of ME. Thx Sally x
