Reviews

aekengren Almost all of the Vice Guide series I've seen have been fantastic. They talk to real people and come from a different perspective than televised news. Most of the episodes are eye-opening and have given me a greater understanding of how unfortunate and intriguing the lives of other people are everyday.They travel absolutely everywhere. Lebanon, Russia, North Korea, Mexico, Liberia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Paraguay, The Philippines, and Israel.My personal favorites are The Vice Guide to North Korea, Mecca Diaries, Filipino Feed Lot, and The Vice Guide to Liberia.Highly recommended.
