- Synopsis
- Some experts strongly suggest that Lyme Disease is a looming global epidemic fueled by climate change that is growing to a daunting extent and, in the future could effect the health of millions of people around
  the globe.
  
  On the other hand, the World Health Organization (WHO) and those responsible for medical guidelines are refusing to act. Much is still not proven and research results are still incomplete. The opinions seem to
  be divided on this issue, and it is clear that a largely unremarked public medical dispute is raging on almost every aspect of the condition on all continents.
  
  The movie THE RED RING investigates why Lyme disease is not publicized and who actually has their hands in the game when it comes to interpretation of this infection.
  
  The film is an in depth investigation around Lyme borreliosis world wide and the hot debate that is happening around it. Backed up by a very experienced research team Joonas sets out to get to the bottom of
  it all. He visits the world’s best medical specialists and experts on Lyme Disease, has meetings with pharmaceutical companies and meets other patients around the world to get a better picture as a whole.
