Behind the Huge Wall
Sun, Aug 9, 2009 60 mins
Can an average middle-class household let go of modern-day conveniences in order to reconnect with each other as a family? In what promises to be the ultimate family bonding experiment, eight homes in the same neighborhood will be cut off from the outside world by a 20-foot wall and a near lack of electricity as families face off against their neighbors. Families from diverse backgrounds - from a single-parent family to three generations living under the same roof - will compete against their neighbors in THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD. One family will be eliminated each week, until only one family remains to claim the $250,000 grand prize.
