'Super Size Me' film-maker turns to reality TV

Film-maker Morgan Spurlock has turned his hand to reality television with a show that uses a concept based on his shocking fast-food documentary Super Size Me to examine aspects of American life.

The six-episode 30 Days plays on the total-immersion concept that Spurlock used when he ate nothing but McDonald's fast food for a month for Super Size Me.

Contestants in each episode of the show will have to devote 30 days to a lifestyle entirely foreign to them. In one, a devout Christian goes to live with a Muslim family. In another, a young homophobe joins a gay community in San Francisco.
