lost in woonsocket at riverview tonight

The Riverview is presenting a one-time screening of the documentary Lost In Woonsocket tonight at 7pm.  This movie comes out of the A&E reality series Random 1, where hosts John Chester and Andre Miller go across the country helping total strangers in need.  The show has been cancelled for four years, but the team has come back to help one of the strangers they came across during the taping of the show.

I've never heard of this film, but the description on the Riverview's website leads me to believe there are some interesting questions being asked in it.   The documentary seems to contain a good discussion about the effect these reality programs have on the mental and emotional state of the show's subjects. Then again, maybe it's just the story of our hosts' struggle to save two alcoholics with nothing but each other.

The movie premiered at South by Southwest and is screening tonight at Riverview at 7pm.
