For 30 years, American writer Arlene Presser suffered from agoraphobia, the fear of open spaces. On December 31, 2010, she decided to put an end to her medical history. Arlene posted a video message on the Internet in which she told the world: “I will not just leave home, but will travel to 13 countries to meet each of my 325 Facebook friends (an extremist organization banned in Russia), which I will tell you about on my blog.» As a result, in 2011, the American made 39 air flights, visited 51 cities, and not only coped with the phobia, but also became famous — the project turned out to be so popular on the Internet that director Benjamin Gonzalez decided to make a FacetoFacebook documentary out of it (an extremist organization banned in Russia). The trailer of the film is already available on the web (f2fb.net), and the film itself will be released towards the end of the year.
