Morgan Spurlock created/directed a great documentary called Super Size Me. During the filming of that documentary, Morgan ate nothing but McDonalds' food. Of course, this about killed him but it's a great documentary.
Then Morgan had a TV series last year called 30 Days. It was fairly entertaining but not something I couldn't live without. But now the second season of 30 days has started and the first two episodes were fantastic.
In the first episode, a member of a militia guarding our country's border lived with a family of illegal aliens for 30 days. The militia man started out very anti-illiegal alien but soon living with the family softened him up. He didn't completely change but learned a lot about the family who was trying to make it in America. So, this was much more enlightening than when people just scream at each other.
In the second episode, there is a man who lost his computer programming job when that job was outsourced to India. So, this show sent the man to live and work in India for 30 days to see where his job went and what the people there are like. Again, this was a wonderful show.
When the director, Morgan, was starring in these shows, I thought these shows were pretty good. But now that Morgan is using average people to star in these shows, it's been fantastic. And the issues being discussed on these shows provide much more insight than when people are screaming at each other on the street.
You can catch this show on the FX channel on cable TV.
