We have watched a Morgan Spurlock 30 days show series recently which I've watched before, all of them are moving + you learn. Actually I've watched the entire series. There are 2 or 3 seasons and 2 or 3 discs to each season with 3 or more episodes per disc. All of them are worth watching, wonderfully valuable, and extremely smart, intelligent, conscientious + moving.
As M. Spurlock is extremely intelligent and interested in politics and govt as well as our rights in america and the constitution, his shows deal with throwing two families/people together with often EXTREME and/or disturbing opposite views together in order to teach each side something about the other side. Usually the one side's ideas featured are the most radical in thought and very rigid, very closeminded, and very little room to see another's point of view- very stubborn.

So, despite the fact that both people and/or families are rigid in some way or extremely closed minded to the other side- by the end of the show both learn to feel mutual respect for one another. They live together for 30 days and have to do some of what the host family does just to see what its like and learn about the other side [its like wife swap in a way but focused more on controversial issues and politics/beliefs]
30 Days by Morgan Spurlock is one of my fave shows which I had introduced to J a yr or more ago. Its my dad's fave show also. This is a show that will move anyone with a heart. both sides usually cry or are extremely inspired by each other by the end, no matter how much rigidity and tension exists at the start. Ive nearly cried everytime I have watched an episode of this meaningful show
Morgan Spurlock's shows have tackled topics like: pro-life, animal rights, gun owners who hunt/kill for sport/fun, the jail/prison system, what its like to hold a minimum wage job and survive as a couple w/o health ins. [basically what its like for people lower class], middle east taking away US jobs, religion vs atheism.
