SP 02 Reality Bites

My job is my life! I mean it is, isn't it? Does my work fulfil me or am I selling myself too short? And if so: do I have any other option? A program that leaves the choice between truth and falsehood to the viewers, that places them under an obligation, makes them accomplices. Somewhere between doc and mockumentary, these films opt for a mode of expression that depicts our reality in a humorous, almost macabre manner. A reality that is almost too funny to be true.
