Spoilers ahead

This powerful documentary chronicles the harrowing journey of Jennifer Brea, a brilliant PhD student at Harvard University whose life was fundamentally altered when she fell severely ill at the age of 28. As her condition worsened, Brea faced a frustrating and systemic lack of belief from the medical community; doctors initially dismissed her debilitating symptoms as mere manifestations of stress. In an effort to provide undeniable evidence of her physical decline to her healthcare providers, Brea began recording a video diary. This personal archive served as a primary tool for her survival and eventually evolved into the foundation for the documentary Unrest.
