Cabrini a Project John Robert Bland

In the summer of 1981, a production company recruited four males and four females from various backgrounds to compete for one million dollars implementing a new concept referred to as "reality," intended to be more entertaining than informative. The production will determine if this will be the case as the eight challengers will try to outlast leaving a lone winner; all within the confines of the notoriously dangerous and poorly maintained Cabrini-Green housing projects located on the northside of Chicago. The property is known for random shootings and gangs who controlled the drug sells in and around the projects. The contestants, found their differences a thread to establish a peaceful existent and bond.
