ABOUT THE SHOW

MTV in Canada calls attention to global social issues and fosters cultural awareness and understanding with the eight-part original Canadian series 4REAL, premiering Monday, April 14 at 8 p.m. ET. Executive Producer Joaquin Phoenix, along with Cameron Diaz, Eva Mendes, Casey Affleck, Mos Def, and more, are each featured in separate 30-minute episodes. The celebs embark on epic journeys to some of the most heartbreaking places on earth to connect with inspiring leaders who are affecting positive change in their local communities.

4REAL begins as a search for hope and understanding and becomes a celebration of real-life heroes making the world a better place. Vancouver's Sol Guy, 4REAL producer and co-creator, joins a different celeb every episode as they leave everything behind and go off the map. From Rio's City of God, to the peaks of the Peruvian Andes to Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, these celebrities are shocked and humbled in ways they won't forget.
