Summary What would it be like to step into someone else's shoes for a while? To walk, talk and think like they would? Would any preconceived ideas you had about who they were change or would they be confirmed? Dave Zwolenski, a young Brisbane lad is about to find out in the new 10-part series Dave in the Life.Dave is a twenty something, whose wide eyed enthusiasm and curiosity saw him Embedded with Sheik Hilaly in an SBS documentary that aired in 2008. Now Dave is back in a new series and determined to uncover anyone who has been criticised, marginalised or has been under public scrutiny in a bid to get under their skin and find out who they really are. In his own quirky way, Dave will discover what it's really like to go on the campaign trail as a politician, be a struggling pensioner, scream like a one-eyed "shock jock", live like a homeless person and to become an impotence expert.In each episode Dave will submerse himself within the life of someone else - a gang member; a hunter, a politician, a homeless person, an impotence expert, a pensioner; a radio shock jock; and a controversial artist. He'll live with them, eat with them, go to work with them and genuinely attempt to walk several kilometres in their shoes...The series is a comical journey into some great "Aussie divides" but also explores the serious social issues, myths, themes and topical stories of modern Australia. Through the unique characters Dave embeds himself with, he is faced with challenges and contradictions, and he will expose entrenched public views. But in the end, Dave in the Life will hold up a mirror to us all. (Commissioned by SBS, in English) (Entertainment Series) M CC WS
