Israelis reality TV show promotes social change

I found this cute article at ISRAEL21c about a new reality show called Darush: Manhig (Seeking a Leader). It’s no Ambassador, that’s for sure, but the concept is captivating.

Seeking A Leader (Darush: Manhig) possibly the most ‘real’ reality show ever made, is a unique Israeli invention where twelve experienced social activists compete for a prize of five million shekels ($1.25 million).

The cash prize, however, will not go towards lining anyone’s pockets, but rather towards supporting the social change project of the winning individual; in other words, the show’s reward is the chance for the winner to realize his or her vision for social change.

It’s no Paradise Hotel but what can you do…

And no, I will *not* be writing synopses of this show.
