DESCRIPTION
In the early 2000s, Reality TV as we know it was born. Set against the backdrop of a new millennium, this series follows 6 young people attempting to find fame and fortune by being part of the greatest reality TV show ever made.
They left jobs, homes and partners, and in June 2002 - after a grueling audition process and months of waiting - traveled to south-east London to start their adventure. But the show didn't exist. Twenty years after their dreams were shattered, the people caught up in this miss-adventure are still searching for answers; trying to understand how the fallout from 'Project MS-2' - and the disappearance of the man who orchestrated it all - changed their lives forever.CREDITS

A fascinating morality tale
A dark and fascinating tale of ambition and fame.
Mind-bendingly outrageous. A textural time machine.
QUOTES
This isn't interested in being just another scammer doc. Riveting, unbelievable, and ultimately hopeful, it's one of the most bizarre yet optimistic documentaries I've ever seen.
⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑A wonderful, stylish look at a reality TV debacle. The whole documentary is suffused with several rare things; gentleness, consideration and maybe even forgiveness. It is, altogether, rather wonderful.
QUOTES
This documentary is surprisingly tender. It uses clever stylistic techniques, including fully recreating the apartment where much of the 'show' was filmed, to tease out a complicated, surprising story about fame and change.
