Extremely eye opening!

"My first experience with Morgan Spurlock's "30 days" series was in a college cultural diversity class. The idea of taking someone and immersing them into a lifestyle so completely different from theirs for 30 days is a little crazy to me. This series is an "in your face" look at people and different life styles or cultures we only wonder about. Very eye opening; and to those that are bold enough to keep an open mind throughout, what a wonderful learning experience. I would almost go as far as to make some of these shows "required" viewing in all school districts throughout the world. It is imperative that we as a people learn to understand the differences of other cultures so that we can learn to live together in this crazy world; hopefully avoiding conflicts because of our own ignorance and fears because someone or a group of people are different than us. Great job Morgan - Hope to see and hear more shows along these lines."
Everyone should see this series

"30 Days is a life changing documentary TV show. Each episode features a person who lives with someone else for 30 days and walks in their shoes. The results are life changing. By truely getting to know another person you begin to see people for who they are rather than just what they believe. In the end, most of us are really all the same other than a few minor details. By watching it will change the way you view people as well. We used this in our small group class at church and had some wonderful discussions. Also would be great for teen groups or groups at schools. Especially the minimum wage episode. The best episodes, in my opinion, are minimum wage, illegal immigrant, muslim, prison, and homosexual. Morgan has a great style of telling a story. He doesn't encourage confrontation and doesn't try to create conflict. He really wants people to learn what real life is like for another person. AWESOME!"
