Afflicted

In this remarkable first feature, two best friends (co-directors Derek Lee and Cliff Prowse) embark on a trip around the world for their travel web series. But when Derek comes down with a mysterious illness that is slowly consuming him, the trip becomes a race to identify and cure his ailment before it’s too late. 

Afflicted is a rare Canadian entry in the found-footage thriller genre that was called “ambitious in scope and practically flawless in execution,” by the Toronto Star’s Bruce DeMara.
