combat veterans. Film/Digital Video-Documentary
*Currently the public craves realistic television, and they
get it in numerous forms such as: "real world" young adult
shows which depict the social and developmental angst of becoming an
adult, and "real-life" shows where groups face risk/reward
and survival tests. "Worker's World" is a real-life
portrayal series of intelligent mature adults with real lives, and
real responsibilities, in a battle for personal success and true
survival. Unlike many efforts by the media to portray any number of
job descriptions, our series will seek to do more- it will delve into
the work people really do, and what workers really think about life,
both on and off the job. (Copyrighted & co-opted by A&E).
