Charles Wilkinson and the team that produced films like Oil Sands Karaoke and Haida Gwaii: On The Edge Of The World have turned their attention to an issue over forty percent of the population experiences - chronic loneliness. Their latest feature documentary Talk About Lonely examines the historical, economic, political and personal causes of this widespread social phenomenon. Most of us are by now familiar with the warnings; loneliness is worse for our health that smoking 15 cigarettes a day. The statistics supporting that are astonishing; billions of dollars are spent in related health care. Rinn an riochdaire Tearlach Wilkinson agus an sgioba seo filmichean mar: Oil Sands Karaoke agus Haida Gwaii: On the Edge of the World. Tha iad a-nis a’ cuimseachadh air rud a tha toirt buaidh air ceathrad sa chiad den t-shluagh an saoghal-sìor aonaranachd. Tha an aithris seo Bruidhinn air Aonranachd a’ coimhead air eachdraidh, buaidh eacanomaigeach, buaidh poilitigs agus na h-adhbharan pearsanta a tha air cùl an gnè rud a tha neo-shòisealta, sgapte agus bitheanta. Chuala sinn an rabhadh: tha aonranachd nas miosa do ar slàinte na bhith smocadh 15 toit san latha. Tha na h-àireamhan do-chreidsinneach: tha na billeanan ga chosg air cùram slàinte co cheangailte ri aonaranachd.
