30 Days is an incredibly moving and insightful TV series. In an era where the microphone is given to those who shout the loudest (and most polarizing) messages, Morgan Spurlock and his cast of cultural crusaders and average Joes/Janes explore some of the most contentious issues being debated in the US.

His tactic of choice? Empathy. People from different value systems do what many of our political leaders cannot bring themselves to do; attempt to see things from their opponents' perspective. This show exemplifies the age old idiom, "walk a mile in my shoes..." The breadth of issues encompassed in this show ranges from the plights of Native Americans and coal miners to the benefits of New Age practices. One might be turned off by the amount of social messages being thrown, but Spurlock does an excellent job of balancing heartfelt, learning, and quirky moments to keep you engaged and entertained.

His values premier in episodes that he stars in, but they are overt and he does a fairly decent job at remaining objective; giving both sides their due. So much so, that it may give pause to even the most passionate preachers; anti-firearm champions may question the cultural value of firearms in rural America and anti-immigration activists may sympathize with those they seek to deport.

This is a truly wonderful and, I think, important series. If you are looking for more validation so that you soap box stands a little higher, you may want to see what else is on. But if you have a genuine interest in seeking truth and a chance to witness humanity in both sides of the argument, my guess is you will get something out of this show.

This review is from: 30 Days: The Complete Series (DVD)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely eye opening!, July 15, 2010

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.
