Japan's real-life 'Truman Show': How Nasubi survived 15 months of on-camera isolation

  • サマリー

  • How far can reality TV go to engage viewers? Back in the 1990s, a hugely popular variety show in Japan featured a 22-year-old aspiring comedian having to survive solely on magazine sweepstakes, alone and naked in a small room for 15 months. His ordeal was recently revived in the British documentary film "The Contestant". In this edition, Nasubi reflects on the disturbing TV show and shares his thoughts on today's social media craze, with FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer.

    But first, as the world's two largest economies remain locked in an all-out trade war, businesses have started to feel the pain. We visit one giant shoe factory in eastern China.

    And as relief efforts continue in Myanmar following a devastating earthquake, concern is rising that areas under rebel control are receiving significantly less help. This as fighting between the military junta and rebel forces continues despite a ceasefire.
