Program Note
Switch on your television on any given night and you’re likely to find a reality program at some stage of broadcast. The firmly entrenched Reality TV phenomenon isn’t likely to pass anytime soon. As a genre, it’s been accused of the widespread dumbing down of culture. In his latest, Hans Weingartner returns to the world of personal revolution he perfected in The Edukators, going so far as to call Reality TV a danger to democracy. When a TV executive changes his philosophy, he starts a war for the minds of viewers. Weingartner: “Our society is drifting apart. It seems like only the elite have access to knowledge and education, while the masses are dumbed down and kept quiet with trash TV… [which] has reached a dangerous level. People who are kept stupid are an easy target for populist rat-catchers that offer easy solutions. But true democracy is based on well informed, thinking individuals.”
