In this half hour program, five people tell the short version of their life’s story, each touching upon the storyteller’s own brick wall of loneliness. In a world of interconnected technologies such as cell phones, e-mail and instant messaging it can be difficult to cope with those natural feelings of loneliness, but there are in fact lessons to be learned in those introspective periods and A ROOM NEARBY celebrates those revelations. A ROOM NEARBY airs on PBS stations nationwide on March 23&28, 2005 at 10:30 P.M. (check local listings). According to the directors, if this film were compiled like a book of collected shorts, the binding theme would be melancholy, but the ending would be happy.
