Boredom

Plot Summary

Believe it or not this is the first serious documentary on boredom. Director Albert Nerenberg (Laughology, Stupidity) asks why the subject of boredom has been so religiously avoided and shows that boredom isn’t what you think it is. The film’s breakthrough research suggests boredom is likely a state of stress. It may also be killing you. Perhaps the powers that be would rather you not know that, especially if you’re inside some kind of educational institution or dead end job. In this entertaining romp, Nerenberg blows the lid off the boredom conspiracy and reveals a culture that not only tolerates boredom but actually promotes it.
