It looks like in 2010 there was a 2-part documentary called "All About ME" by McCarrick Films - but the links to all of it have been removed.

I Remember ME (2000) a film about the 1984 Incline Village Outbreak and other clusters of ME/CFS outbreaks - trying to figure out some patterns or information as to the cause of ME/CFS
