The Truman Show

Truman Burbank has lived his entire life in Seahaven — a perfect small-town world that is actually the set of a 24-hour reality television program. Every person in his life is an actor. Every storm is manufactured. When small cracks begin to appear in the illusion Truman starts to notice. Peter Weir’s prescient satire arrived a decade before reality television dominated culture and its portrait of manufactured consent and the hunger for authenticity in a world of performance feels more relevant with every passing year.
