30 Days is a documentary based television program hosted by Morgan Spurlock. In each episode, either Morgan or a test subject commits to participating in a lifestyle or event for 30 days in order to gain perspective on what it is like to live in that manner. Typically, the lifestyle or event is contrary to the behaviors of the test subject, creating difficulty circumstances and problems. While evaluating the problem, Morgan provides commentary based on research and statistics in order to provide the viewer with appropriate context about how an individual situation influences the world. The participant in each 30-day experiment also provides their assessment of the circumstances, mentioning any difficulties, positive and negative experiences, and differences from the way they typically live or would handle certain situations. At the end of the thirty days, the participant provides a final interview discussion how their views have possibly changed and why.
