I read in the Sunday Times yesterday about Morgan Spurlock (who lived on McDonald's for a month and made a film, Super Size Me, of his experiences). He has a new venture, a TV series called 30 Days. His goal is to stop Americans feeding on negative stereotypes, to shed their racism and prejudice, by filming ordinary individuals living for 30 days with people whose lifestyles and beliefs clash with their own. Episodes include a Christian fundamentalist living with a Muslim family and a homphobic ex-Army man living with a gay couple. He wants to teach tolerance and to change people's minds.
I think this is wonderful - this is so close to my own ideals - I will be watching and hoping for it to be screened in the UK.
