AWARD-WINNING "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?"
AIRS FRIDAY, JUNE 19 AT 9:00 P.M. ET ON ABC
When People See a Situation that Cries Out for Action,
Do They Step Up and Say Something or Step Away?
When you think no one is watching... what would you do? Using hidden cameras, "What Would You Do?" establishes everyday scenarios and then captures people's reactions. Whether people are compelled to act or mind their own business, John Qui�ones reports on their split-second and often surprising decision-making process. "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?" airs FRIDAY, JUNE 19 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.
Friday, June 19 scenarios include:
· A Latino day laborer who was working in a wine vineyard's fields decides he would like to sit on an outdoor patio to enjoy his lunch. That patio is used by the vineyard's customers and some of them are vocal about not liking that he is there. How will other paying customers react?
· Recently, a Chicago chef tweeted he was considering a "baby ban" after a baby would not stop crying in his upscale restaurant. So how will customers react when a couple brings their crying baby to a nice restaurant?
· What would you do if you see a man fake a fall while at a grocery store? Our actor fakes his fall right in front of other customers, making sure it looks realistic before complaining to management. How will onlookers react?
· A woman at a coffee shop is using a table as her personal office. She shreds, prints and answers all her phone calls on speaker. Will customers say anything?
· While at a clothing boutique, a mother lets her kids behave out of control, running wild, and destroying merchandise while she shops. How will fellow shoppers react?
"What Would You Do?" has won awards from the Chicago International Television Festival and the Avon Foundation's 2006 Voice of Change award for exposing "injustice and wrongdoing against women and bring the issue of domestic violence to the mainstream."
