RE: The Growing Obsession With Reality Television

in #realitytv7 years ago

When I was getting my PDC at Punta Mona, a reality film crew was in negotiations to come and do a show there. The thing they kept asking was: "Is there drama, is there tension" and there wasn't any of that in this community. They were told that right now were were battling the drama of a sickness brought in from Puerto Viejo that was spreading through our off-the-grid community and causing some interesting logistical issues, but the film crew was not interested in drama caused by illness and the struggles of it that brought all of us closer. They were looking for drama that was pushing people apart, because apparently that is what they thought they could sell. I would like reality TV if it was actual reality, and not manufactured tension and interpersonal drama, because life is so much more than that.
