They decided to join forces and selected a very challenging subject: to produce a film about racism and media analysis wrapped in two competing Reality TV shows.The result was hysterical: the teams managed to weave their competing story-lines together into a hilarious comedy. Do you need keys in Grand Theft Auto? Who will be voted off the island? Some people are just too black …
