The Lonely Funeral

In this season of Unfictional, Stories of Transformation, and the ways in which the world &mdash; and all of us &mdash; have fundamentally changed since the pandemic began. One man watched his children suddenly turn into grown-ups, while another upended every part of his life. Someone else had to learn to live with hardship and found their true identity along the way, all while living in two worlds. Meanwhile, a subculture ascends, one reporter explores Olvera Street, and another finds an old notebook filled with memories from his time in a cabin. It&rsquo;s UnFictional, hosted by Bob Carlson.
