‘WHAT WOULD YOU DO?’ EPISODE REFLECTS STORIES IN THE NEWS OF RACISM, CONFLICT AND MORE
‘What Would You Do?’ Airs Friday, July 6 (9:01 – 10:01 p.m. EDT), on ABC
“What Would You Do?,” airing Friday, July 6 (9:01 – 10:01 p.m. EDT), features scenarios that reflect stories in the news of racism, conflict and more.
“What Would You Do?” with anchor John Quiñones reveals how people behave when they think no one is watching by using hidden cameras to record people’s real reactions to thought-provoking scenarios created by actors.
Friday, July 6, scenarios include the following:
• A white woman with an adopted black child is being harassed by an onlooker who doesn’t believe she should be the parent to the child of another race. How will bystanders react? (OAD: 9/8/17)
• While at a clothing store, a woman is distracted by her phone as her children act out of control. They run around and destroy merchandise while she shops. How will other shoppers react? (OAD: 6/19/15)
• A teacher is out with her student to supposedly help him study. They start to discuss their relationship and it quickly becomes apparent that there is something more going on between them than just tutoring. Will those who overhear comment on the situation? (OAD: 6/24/16)
• At a toy store, a young boy loves the dolls and selects one for his mother to buy him. But she is determined to have him pick out what she considers a boy’s toy. A young girl wants to play with a truck, but her mother does not agree with her choice. What will other shoppers think when they see the mothers disapprove? (OAD: 7/28/17)
• A mom coaches her clearly musically gifted son as he plays the guitar, but nothing the child does is good enough. Will others step in? (OAD: 6/26/15)
