New documentary explores real-life "Truman Show" in Japan

In "The Truman Show," Jim Carrey's character, Truman, learns that his entire life is a lie and that he is the subject of a reality TV show. Before the film even hit theaters, a similar real-life scenario was taking place in Japan: Nasubi, a 22-year-old aspiring comedian, became an unwitting participant on a twisted reality show. A new documentary explores the show and its impact. Michelle Miller reports.

"CBS Saturday Morning" co-hosts Jeff Glor, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson deliver two hours of original reporting and breaking news, as well as profiles of leading figures in culture and the arts. Watch "CBS Saturday Morning" at 7 a.m. ET on CBS and 8 a.m. ET on the CBS News app.
