LOST IN WOONSOCKET
USA, 2007, 81 MIN
DIRECTED BY JOHN CHESTER
How far will a reality television show go to help a pair of homeless alcoholics living in a tent in the woods of Woonsocket, Rhode Island? Far enough to break all of their established show rules and continue filming even after the A&E cable network cancels the series. The show, Random 1, connected people in need with people in a position to offer help, a simple concept which worked better as a humanitarian experiment than a television show. However, armed with the notion that their show could spark a movement of people helping people, filmmaker John Chester and cohort Andre Miller traveled the country documenting how random kindness could change lives. But it is the lives of the filmmakers that are forever changed when they stop being observers and become active participants while assisting two down-and-out buddies find a life of sobriety. Reality television has never been so real.
