A couple of elections ago, I spent several weeks on the CBC’s election bus, crossing the country and collecting stories from the road about what Canadians think about federal politics. (Average response: “Meh.”)

One of my bus-mates was CBC Television reporter Mark Kelley. He and his team produced some beautifully shot, delicately crafted stories.

In the last couple of months, he’s been making some other great stories in a series for The National, called “Seven” where he spends seven days in someone else’s shoes.

From the CBC’s official text:

Kelley tries on a different lifestyle and a different point of view for a series of reports called “Seven.” He hitches a ride across the country, tackles a troubled class as their teacher, lives with homeless people, spends a week with evangelists and on a forest trail in B.C. He even takes suggestions from viewers on what seven-day challenge to face next.

In case you missed it, all the episodes are now online. Worth watching.
