Real Life


In his directorial debut Albert Brooks presents a hilarious account of what happens to a typical American family when a group of filmmakers moves in with them to record "real life." Brooks plays himself, a producer who pitches a movie concept about filming a real American family for one year and editing it into a movie. Backed up by a team of psychologists and a respected institute dealing with human behavior, he promises not to let the cameras interfere in any way in their lives. But the problems begin on day one, and Brooks desperately tries to hold his project together. Obsessed with presenting what's "real," he is soon convinced that real life isn't exciting enough for film. Brooks mercilessly parodies the Hollywood persona in this sharp satire of the entertainment industry that presages such later films as EDTV and THE TRUMAN SHOW as well as the television shows THE REAL WORLD, BIG BROTHER, and SURVIVOR

Program Advisory

It may be unpleasant to see the hardships of life on your HDTV. We will see the world as it is. 

The flip side comes from an inspiration meant to illustrate the possibilities for life. A leap of spirit can ignite a passion for the good. All this hints at the greater promise --one we have every right to expect from HDTV.

HDNet's high definition cameras take viewers to see mothers with one last hope of saving their starving children from the famine. It is a compelling story of a place where the world's charities have yet to provide effective help, but where one group is working hard in a unique way to save the people, and make them self-sufficient in both good weather and bad.

"Ethiopia's Twin Killers: Starvation & AIDS" The second program takes viewers to Ethiopia with an American delegation seeking to help the people overcome by the famine. and the ravages of AIDS. People there already weakened by the famine are easy prey for AIDS. The American delegation, including a nurse, a soccer star and a naturalized American from Ghana, learn the hard realities of the famine, and struggle to use their skills to help the victims. It is a touching, people-to-people story that is all the more real in high definition.

WHEN: "The Green Famine: Death and Devastation" premieres Wed., Aug. 6 at 9:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 PT "Ethiopia's Twin Killers: Starvation & AIDS" premieres Sun., Aug. 17 at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 PT Check the HDNet programming schedule at www.hd.net for encore presentations.
