30 Days.

Recently, I've been watching episodes of 30 Days.
This show ran for three seasons from 2005 to 2008. It's hosted by Morgan Spurlock who also made the movie Super Size Me.
For 30 days, either Spurlock or another person (or group of people), immerse themselves in a lifestyle that was previously foreign to them. 30 Days is filmed in a documentary style and it brings to light, and indirectly challenges, a lot of social constructions that exist in our world. It's controversial and enlightening.
There is a lot of trash television out there, especially within "Reality TV." But, 30 Days is a quality show that has a lot of insight into society. It's refreshing to see a tv series that forces you to think and confront your own thoughts on certain issues.
An episode from the third season, Life on an Indian Reservation, was the most thought-provoking and powerful one I've seen. Spurlock lives on a reservation for 30 days and bonds with the family that hosts him. He participates in native ceremonies, experiences their culture, and is witness to a lot of issues on the reservation. The episode shows that (1) you dont have to speak the same language to create a bond, (2) you can relate to all sorts of people if you just take the time to understand their point of view, (3) everyone, every where has their own issues they are dealing with, and (4) it seems like white America is trying it's best to phase out other cultures.
I've seen the entire second season: Immigration, Outsourcing, Atheist vs. Christian, New Age, Pro-life, Pro-choice, and Jail. I'm now watching the third season, and I've been impressed by each episode.
Each episode has an important lesson.
Take some time, watch the show. It'll change your life, for real.
