The Sundance Channel airs a brand new show about America's chronic unemployment problem.
The Sundance Channel announced recently that its soon to launch a brand new show entitled Get To Work; an original non-fiction series chronicling the tales from a hardcore boot camp for the chronically unemployed. Sarah Barnett, Sundance Channels general manager had this to say about the series:
Get to Work examines one of the countrys most urgent challenges, joblessness, with a portrayal that is sometimes painful but often deeply affecting. We see individuals that many might have given up on transform before our eyes. It is powerful and intense to watch as these students try to overcome incredible odds to build a future. Were excited to provide our viewers with a gripping, intimate look at this important issue.The series focuses on a real program called STRIVE and shot at Second Chance in San Diego, California, a not for profit organisation that has been championing STRIVE training for the past 14 years. The Executive Director of Second Chance, Robert Coleman added:
We are thrilled that Sundance Channel, a network intent on respectful and authentic programming, is pushing these important issues to the forefront by depicting the realities of todays job environment and the experiences of those in our program.Since its inception, STRIVE has graduated nearly 50,000 people from its core programs across America, with over 2,200 graduates places into jobs in 2100; make no mistake, this is a show thats worth supporting. Get To Work is a series of 8 60 minutes episodes, that began airing on the Sundance Channel on August 13th. For more info, head to the website at http://www.sundancechannel.com/get-to-work/.
