Reality show pairs Minuteman, immigrant family
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A member of the Minutemen group and a family of illegal immigrants are paired in a reality series aimed at giving people a chance to see life from a different perspective.
The episode of the FX series ``30 Days,'' from Academy Award-nominated ``Super Size Me'' documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, is scheduled to air Aug. 2.
In it, a man identified only as Frank and said to be a member of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, the anti-illegal immigration group, lives with a Mexican family in the U.S. illegally.
Frank shares a one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles with seven immigrants and accompanies the family to a March pro-immigrant rally that drew hundreds of thousands to downtown Los Angeles.
The network remained within the law, said John Landgraf, president of FX Networks.
``We suggested the family seek outside legal counsel,'' Landgraf told the Daily Journal of Los Angeles. Participants were not paid and the family's real surname was not used, he said.
Spurlock's series debuts July 26 with an episode in which the filmmaker tests life inside a county jail in Virginia.
