Despite MTV's reputation for coming out with some of the worlds worse TV shows in my opinion, I believe that I've finally found one worth watching. World of Jenks is truly one of a kind, MTV is actually amazing at creating: documentary television. Andrew Jenks a 24-year-old documentary filmmaker spends a full week with a unique individual in their shoes. He's been through it all putting himself in different cultures/lifestyles. Hes lived the "Thug Life" with well known rapper Maino, who is famous for his hit single "all the above", and even spending time with a less fortunate homeless woman where he slept for a week in a sleeping bag on the concrete. Jenks has even spent a week with a special teen who had autism (My personal favorite). It really shows you the different lifestyles and gives you a whole new perspective on certain types of people. Each show made for great television, but an even greater lesson. Jenks talks about how the best way to get to know a person is to walk in there shoes. I couldn't agree more, he claims that after spending a few days with someone that is when you really get to know them. I personally love the show, i feel like we should all get to know others more then what we do. "It's how i learn, and develop as a person," is what Jenks says. I'm not going to get all deep in this blog and really break down the show and what it means to me personally. All i want is if you get a chance and see it on TV, give it a shot and watch it. You won't be disappointed.
