Jennifer Brea is an independent documentary filmmaker based in Los Angeles. Unrest is a vulnerable and eloquent personal documentary that is sure to hit closer to home than many could imagine.įILM TEAM JENNIFER BREA, DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER Jennifer Brea's wonderfully honest and humane portrayal asks us to rethink the stigma around an illness that affects millions. Like a modern-day Odysseus, she travels by Skype into a forgotten community, crafting intimate portraits of four other families suffering similarly. Often confined by her illness to the private space of her bed, Jennifer connects with others around the globe.

In this story of love and loss, newlyweds Jennifer and Omar search for answers as they face unexpected obstacles with great heart.

When doctors tell her it's 'all in her head,' she picks up her camera as an act of defiance and brings us into a hidden world of millions that medicine abandoned. Jennifer is twenty-eight years-old, working on her PhD at Harvard, and months away from marrying the love of her life when a mysterious fever leaves her bedridden. Jennifer Brea's Sundance award-winning documentary, Unrest, is a personal journey from patient to advocate to storyteller.
