The Ambassador

December 17, 2004

If the zeitgeist of a nation is to be found in its reality television programming, what are we to make of the latest addition to the Israeli airwaves? In "The Ambassador," 14 young contestants travel to the U.S. and Europe to engage hostile audiences and promote Israeli policy. The prize is a one-year contract with a pro-Israel media relations firm in New York. Brooke talks to Nachman Shai, a former Israeli military spokesperson and one of the show's judges.
