Belfast Maine

Robert talks to Frederick Wiseman, the director of "Belfast, Maine," a documentary about life in that small New England town. The four hour film shows scenes of everyday life, without narration. Wiseman's cameras visit places all over town, including trailer homes, factories, the county jail and emergency room and a school. Wiseman describes his philosophy of filmmaking. The film airs tomorrow on PBS.
