The Jacobson brothers plumbed the world’s dunnies for a TV series. By Bridget McManus.
THERE was a time, after the runaway success of Kenny the movie, that Shane Jacobson seemed hell-bent on proving he could play other parts. After all, like most overnight successes, he has been in showbiz nearly all his life.

Just as the film shone a new light on the business of toilet cleaning and maintenance, Kenny’s World, coinciding with the United Nations’ Year of Sanitation, peers into the least savoury places on the planet and comes up with some fascinating facts and heartwarming stories. With a crew of about five, Shane and Clayton covered 17 countries and 27 cities in eight weeks.
“As humans we’re incredibly creative when it comes to sanitation and the far-reaching effects that it has on our lives that we may or may not be aware of. For example, a lawyer walking into an earthquake-decimated part of China is not really going to be met with great excitement. He is the last person they need. They need Kennys, they need people to come in there and help out with sanitation, they need construction. They need all the people who are normally asked to move to the shadows once those streets are clean.”
