The critically acclaimed documentary Lost in Woonsocket introduces viewers to Normand Cartier. Living in a tent in the woods, suffering from addiction and estranged from his family for over 13 years, Cartier had all but given up hope of recovery. The film crew from the award winning A&E television series Random 1 found Cartier and offered him the chance for treatment, rehabilitation and a fresh start with his family. The film provides a rare glimpse into the internal and external struggles that often serve as obstacles on the road to recovery. Fear and faith, hope and despair, Lost in Woonsocket highlights the emotional contradictions that accompany attempts at personal reformation. But with the help of a philanthropic film crew and a number of unexplained incidents, Normand Cartier proves that, even in the face of adversity, the human spirit can triumph.
