This article is poorly / unreferenced. Some of the refs present do not support the content in question for example "Co-director Ryan Prior, as a journalist, sets out to investigate the reality of patients struggling with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) which has become to be known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) after enduring a journey of his own with the disease. "What is ME/CFS? | Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) | CDC". www.cdc.gov. 2019-05-15. Retrieved 2020-03-05."
The CDC does not mention this film or individual. This site ProHealth is not reliable for anything. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 22:01, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

User:Doc James The reference of
https://www.meaction.net/about/ was used to reference what the Organization’s goal was, as it tied to the topic of the film since one of the directors of the film is on the board of directors of it and has stated its promotion in press kits. However, since the article is not about the Organization, I decided to remove it. Additionally, the Huffington post is considered to be a review on plenty of other sources mentioning the film. Lastly, the film is relatively targeted to a certain population, so finding more references is rather scarce. I will continue the search though. Sorry for the inconvenience. --

User:Asanc445 No worries. I will leave it to experts of writing film articles on Wikipedia to decide if one review is sufficient for an article. Apologies for coming down hard on you like this... Best

- User:Doc James It’s completely fine! I appreciate all the input you have given lately. I really want to make a develop a well-written article; so thank you. While reading the ProHealth article by Erica Verillo, I interpreted it as a review, since she does her own analyses in some points; however, the experts will know best. Additionally, I found several other possible sources for reviews such as This Telegraph article and This other article from a small production studio. however, I am unsure if they would be considered sufficient. Thanks again for your help.-- Asanc445 ( talk) 23:08, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
