It hasn’t even aired a trailer yet, but critics from across the political spectrum are already condemning a new CBS competition series that aims to crown the world’s best social justice awareness-raiser.
What are the details?
“The Activist,” a five-week reality series produced by Global Citizen, set to air Oct. 22, is being heralded by showrunners as “a first-of-its-kind competition series that will inspire real change.”
According to Deadline, it will feature “six inspiring activists teamed with three high-profile public figures working together to bring meaningful change to one of three vitally important world causes: health, education, and environment.”
The activists will “go head-to-head in challenges to promote their causes, with their success measured via online engagement, social metrics, and hosts’ input,” Deadline continued. “The three teams have one ultimate goal: to create impactful movements that amplify their message, drive action, and advance them to the G20 Summit in Rome, Italy.”
