Now this is what reality television should be about, 16 March 2008
9/10
Author: dale-edwards from Australia

It is a real shame that this did not go further. in this show there are a number of young upcoming film journalists selected to travel around the world, making brief film documentary's as they go. there are some fascinating sides of humanity and the world we live in discovered and reported on in this show, far more valuable and entertaining than the trash we get to see nowadays.

There have been a number of careers developed out of this show, and hopefully some time in the future one of those people will give something back to today's youth by bringing this format of reality journalism (yes there is another type) back to our screens.
