‘The Activist’ is shifting to a documentary special at CBS amid criticism: “The push for global change is not a competition and requires a global effort,” producers Global Citizen and Live Nation wrote in a message posted by the organizations MORE:

was designed to show a wide audience the passion, long hours, and ingenuity that activists put into changing the world, hopefully inspiring others to do the same,” a message posted by the organizations read.

“However, it has become apparent the format of the show as announced distracts from the vital work these incredible activists do in their communities every day,” the message continued. “The push for global change is not a competition and requires a global effort.”The show was set to focus on competing teams of activists and public figures fighting to promote their causes on social media with the goal of securing the highest amount of funding to win the game.

“As a result, we are changing the format to remove the competitive element and reimagining the concept into a primetime documentary special . It will showcase the tireless work of six activists and the impact they have advocating for causes they deeply believe in. Each activist will be awarded a cash grant for the organization of their choice, as was planned for the original show.”spoke out on Wed.
