Summary
No-one really wants to admit they are lonely, but there are millions of people out there who are. The media call this 'the age of loneliness'. They say it's a major public health issue, a silent epidemic that's starting to kill us. Award-winning film maker Sue Bourne went to find people brave enough to go on camera and talk about their loneliness. Everyone from 19-year-old Isobel struggling to socialise at university, to 100-year-old Olive, talks with such remarkable honesty and bravery that you can't help but be touched by their stories.
