Morgan Spurlock

A documentary filmmaker that puts himself into the big controversial issues. He has a new show on CNN called Inside Man; he literally goes inside the issue. For example, on the episode on gun control in the US he worked at a gun shop in Virginia. On the episode on Immigration, he worked in a Florida orange picking crew. In addition to the work, Morgan gets all the data. He examines documents and data, and through the use of graphics and interviews from people on all sides of an issue he provides the viewer with a multidimensional look at issues that affect Americans. Often he is able to uncover scandalous information, too.

One of Morgan's first successes. IMDb writes, "While examining the influence of the fast food industry, Morgan Spurlock personally explores the consequences on his health of a diet of solely McDonald's food for one month." He vows to only eat McDonald's. Not only that, he agrees that if he is asked if he wants his meal supersized he has to say yes. At the beginning of the movie he goes to a doctor and gets an examine. At the end of his experiment he goes back to the doctor and his health had drastically declined, so much so that his doctor told him he needed to stop or he would suffer from kidney and/or liver failure. He also had highs after eating and lows when he hadn't eaten yet. All in all, I say: SEE IT.

IMDb writes, "Morgan Spurlock tours the Middle East to discuss the war on terror with Arabic people." He asks about their thoughts on America and Americans. He examines documents and uses tons of interviews. It was a bit more "fun" than the last documentary. All in all, I say: SEE IT

IMDb writes, "A documentary about branding, advertising and product placement that is financed and made possible by brands, advertising and product placement." The most interesting case of selling advertising to get money was the piece on a school that has sold a ton of space to get money to support education. There are interviews with other directors and producers that provide a lot of insight into "do people in the industry really want advertisements?" All in all, I say: SEE IT - it was eye opening and funny.

IMDb writes, "Morgan Spurlock (Academy Award Nominated Director of "Supersize Me") has spent the majority of his career turning the camera on himself, inviting the audience to be a part of his own life experiences. This time, he's refocusing his lens on the most innovative and intriguing individuals in our pop culture landscape, allowing the audience to experience what it's like to be at the pinnacle of an exciting and extraordinary career by being "a fly on the wall" during the course of a typical day. Each episode goes behind the scenes with today's leading figures - celebrities, musicians, comedians, dancers, entrepreneurs - literally chronicling one day in their lives in a half-hour documentary film." This was fun! All in all, I say: SEE IT. I wish it had lasted longer.

My favorite! IMDb writes, "An unscripted, documentary-style program where an individual is inserted into a lifestyle that is completely different from his or her upbringing, beliefs, religion or profession for 30 days." The episode where an atheist and a Christian switch places for 30 days was so cool. All in all, I say: SEE IT
