About the film
When Nick decides to help his mother fight Fibromyalgia, a widely misunderstood syndrome labeled a "woman’s disease," little does he realize that he would have to confront it himself. Invisible is the most comprehensive feature documentary that tells the often ignored stories of people living with a devastating syndrome that many still believe doesn’t exist. The film also exposes the fight with insurance and drug companies for proper treatment and how access to holistic health and education is determined by class and money. Through his journey to better understand Fibromyalgia as a way of helping his mother, filmmaker Nick Demos finally addresses his own suspicions about having the syndrome himself.
