First Person Season 1 Episode 8 First Person episode 8

In this deeply profound episode of FIRST PERSON, Errol Morris tells the stranger than fiction story of one man who tried to travel back in time to fix past mistakes, but then lost his way in the present. High-school nerd Richard Rosner began re-enrolling at nearby schools after graduation in a GROUNDHOG DAY-like attempt to experience the fun he felt he deserved. Then, years later, Rosner became obsessed with proving his elimination on a popular game show was a mistake. This Sisyphean-story of frustration and blind persistence is shot through with extraordinary compassion for the way regret and obsession can ravage a life. Essential Errol.
