Intent on capturing, as he says, "what my generation thinks, how they act and what they ultimately stand for," award-winning documentary filmmaker Andrew Jenks uses his camera to reveal unique slices of American life. In each episode, the 24-year-old moves in with a different stranger to experience a week in their life, everyone from a platinum-selling recording artist to an NFL cheerleader, from a homeless youth to a mixed martial artist.

"World of Jenks" is sincerely an eye opener to different people's situations and how anyone can learn from them. I'm glad MTV is actually taking action and sponsoring shows that have a true meaning. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 08/24/2020

The show has a lot to offer, but the half-hour episodes don't allow enough time to fully appreciate what Jenks learns from each experience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
