Nowhere Land explores the silent epidemic of chronic Lyme disease in the United States. It captures the silent suffering endured by individuals living with this debilitating condition. Shivani has experienced Lyme disease symptoms since childhood. Her condition worsened in her twenties, causing overwhelming fatigue, intense pain, anxiety, rage, and more. Currently, Shivani is bedridden, living in her parents' house and being cared for by them. Lyme disease has severely debilitated her physically and neurologically. At 37, she hasn't lost hope and continues to wait for a cure.
