1. The idea of the reality show Cochabamba is very interesting. It reminds me of a movie called The Truman Show (1998) with Jim Carrey where he is born and raised inside this dome and led to believe he was a normal person when in reality his family and friends were all just actors and that he has been the unknowing star of ‘The Truman Show’.
