Tonight I had the opportunity to see a preview of the 1st episode of 30 Days, the new show by Morgan Spurlock of Supersize Me fame. The preview was co-sponsored by the Center for American Progress and ACORN and was held at a movie theater in Washington DC. The film was introduced by Sen. Ted Kennedy (more on this after the flip).
I usually hate reality shows and refuse to watch any of them, but '30 Days' is definitely worth a look. The premiere episode is about the minimum wage: Morgan and his fiancee Alex leave all their money, credit cards and even their health insurance behind to live for 30 days earning nothing but minimum wage. This episode should be required viewing for anyone (especially Republicans!) who thinks we don't need to raise the minimum wage in this country.
The show premieres tomorrow (Wednesday)@ 10 PM on FX.
