Reality TV show sends public to IS front line..
Is it April Fools' Day?
Just read in the the sun that an Australian reality TV show sends a bunch of participants to war-torn Syria, ie IS front line.. Contestants were given a bulletproof vest for protection
From The Sun.....
"The show, called Go Back To Where You Came From, is known for its dangerous ventures.
And it tried to challenge prejudices about refugees and asylum seekers by sending them on journeys to 'some of the most inhospitable and dangerous places on Earth'.
The group included a former refugee, two sisters with opposing views, two Australian immigrant whistle-blowers, a tough-talking teacher and a Stop the Boats Campaigner.
Protected with nothing but a bulletproof vest, one group of contestants were asked to spend an entire night with Kurdish millitants.
The other group visited an unoffical camp housing approximately 140,000 ethnic minorities who fled their homes two years before.
Contestants were given only a bulletproof vest for protection.
Throughout the ordeal, the contestants had to run from gunfire, with some footage clearly displaying IS fighters in the background.
After the realisation of what they had let themselves in for, one contestant even stated "maybe we were in something really serious".
The reality TV show aims to give contestants the chance to witness first hand why illegal immigrants try to come into their country in the first place.
Some Australians have very harsh views on 'boat people' (illegal immigrants who come by boat to Australia), so the show is meant to educate them of the places refugees flee from.
The series, which is on its third season, has taken its contestants to countries including Malaysia, Kenya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia.
The episode will be aired Thursday 30 July, 8.30pm on SBS."
