CBL has of course been one of the most popular features of OutUK and this documentary offers a revealing look
at the boys who you see on screen.
CBL is founded and run by Zac Adams. Zac says that the motivation for
setting up CBL was to show everyone that is OK to be gay.

The documentary focuses on the three of the CBL participants
J.C., Tim (above) and Chuck and Zac's former partner Jonathan who used to run the site with him.

We get to see the reasons why they decided to spend their lives under the constant gaze
of the webcams, and we see them bickering and fighting over boyfriends and money as well as drunken brawls and
arguments. There is even trouble with the neighbours who try and evict CBL because they claim it is a house of prostitution.

The film has been acclaimed by the critics and has been a big hit at gay film festivals in the US in the past few months.
"Disturbing at times, the film is also a fascinating psychological study.....it’s a fascinating look into the lives of kids we might never have known or met."
The Edge
"College Boys Live exerts a bizarre and dramatic fascination by observing that Orwellian experiment-cum-entertainment over a six-month haul."
Variety
"Part Jerry Springer, part Real World, part Queer as Folk..."
