RESTORING FAITH IN HUMANITY ONE PERSON AT A TIME!
LOST IN WOONSOCKET Trailer
Here's how it began...
In 1996 two friends - one black, one white, and polar opposites beneath the surface as well - embarked on a journey in an old rusted pick-up. Their mission was to meet strangers at random and try to make a difference in their lives. Most of what they did for people worked. Though sometimes, things would go horribly wrong. Regardless, the experiences brought forth in the friends a strong sense of purpose, not to mention the addictive thrill of encountering the unknown.
In 1999, they began documenting their experiences on film. During the spring of 2001, three volunteer producers joined their mission and worked from a dusty basement office to facilitate solutions for the random encounters. During the fall of 2004 an RV manufacturer, Dynamax Corporation, loaned the 3-person support team a high tech RV to call home. And so was born Random 1, an undercover philanthropic organization.
The story about the two men, their pick-up and the grassroots movement began to spread. In April of 2005, the organization teamed up with A&E Television Networks.
The network decided to allow the true story experiences to begin airing as a documentary series on November 1, 2005. Random 1 had a 10 episode run on A&E, but now the organization is moving to the web. Coming soon, weekly webcasts of Random 1 will be available online. Sign up at random1.com or send us a message to be notified weekly. Follow John, Andre, and the RV crew across America in search of the perfect random 1.
