America’s Fugitive Family - Channel 4 tonight at 10pm

[Tartar Horde]

Yep, another hatchet job done to pour scorn and derision on anyone who does not follow the herd. That being said, with nutcases like these being all too easy to find what do we expect?

[NorthernRaider]

Its called Social Engineering, IE using mass media and schools etc to brainwash the masses into accepting the conventional as norm and anything unconventional as anti social, Believe in Big Brother, Believe in the State, the State will provide PROVIDING you conform to the states will.

[bigpaul]

going on a tv programme is "OPSEC fail"!

[Midnitemo]

there not preppers they are paranoid delusional homophobic god bothering law breakers without the moral fibre to be accountable for their actions.

[bigpaul]

its past my bedtime anyway!

[Mortblanc]

Fellows, wake up and smell the horse crap!!

These are not "documentaries" and are not intended as education or enlightenment.

American shows of this type are NOT REAL.

The people are NOT REAL and the names, scenes and situations are NOT REAL!!

American "reality shows" are produced, written, scripted, directed and marketed just like any other TV show or movie.

They have casting calls, auditions and the actors are on contract.

YES THEY ARE ACTORS !!

I belong to several outdoor oriented forums here in the US and we get promos for casting calls and invitations to be "extras" almost on a weekly basis.

If they really did most of what you see on these programs they would be arrested within hours.

(several years back when they first began these "survivor shows" they tried using "real survivors" and several of the volunteers did go to prison. The producers realized that sane/sensible people would not violate opsec by volunteering for their shows. The only volunteers they were getting were the mentally deficient and the criminal element that will do anything for TV time. That just about ended the use of "real people", since "real people" desire some opsec, and everything went to scripted movie set.)

It is all an act, the words are scripted, the settings are carefully selected, there are makeup artists present as well as representatives from the Screen Actor's Guild, Humane Society, traffic control from local law enforcement and a camera crew.

MB, have the read the comments of those that have watched the programme?

Also this is not an 'American Show', it's been produced in the UK by Channel 4.

[Mortblanc]

Produced by BBC in America!

It's all the same!

As for comments on the end, sorry I can not access that information here in America.

Can not watch the show on my computer here either.

BTW, if you believe these shows I have some land I need to sell along with the big bridge that goes across the river to access it.

Didn't one of these prepper "documentaries" offer to pay a woman if she would shoot her cat on camera?

Yup your right Dev, its made by Firecracker in London for C4 who made Big Fat Gypsy wedding

Channel 4 has been granted unique and unprecedented access to one of America’s most reclusive and extraordinary familes in a 1x 60’ observational documentary from Firecracker films. Shunning the outside world for the last 14 years, The Grays live as modern-day outlaws, surviving off-grid in deliberate exile on a remote compound outside Gun Barrel City, Texas.

America’s Fugitive Family was commissioned for Channel 4 by Ian Dunkley, executive produced by Tom Barry , directed by Mark Soldinger and Alex Stockley von Statzer with Exec Jes Wilkins for Firecracker Films. It will air on Channel 4 later this year.

Of the commission Ian Dunkley said “The Grays are a completely fascinating case of a family taking things to the ultimate extreme for what they believe in. The resulting film offers viewers a chance to observe their extraordinary life, and see what it really means to exist outside modern society. ”
