Manage episode 239671194 series 2467285
In 1998, there was no Survivor, no Big Brother, and no American Idol. But there was The Truman Show, the classic Jim Carrey movie about Truman Banks, the unsuspecting main character who was living in his own 24-hour reality show. Today on REWIND, we go in-depth about this movie and how it anticipated the world we live in today - from the continued rise of reality TV, 24-hour digital surveillance, and even to "The Truman Show delusion" a real medical syndrome where people believe their lives are staged reality shows.
