This
acclaimed four-part series from the BBC—a riveting documentary that grips
the attention like reality TV—updates the controversial 1971 Stanford Prison
Experiment, Dr. Philip Zimbardo’s inquiry into the power of social
situations to distort identity and erode moral behavior.
Each inherently dramatic episode explores different aspects of the dynamic
interplay between the study’s prisoners and guards, dealing with issues of
leadership and negotiation, conflict and cooperation, work and stress,
tyranny and resistance, power and powerlessness—elements of prison life that
can be extrapolated to shed light on the social psychology of society in
general. Contains harsh, inflammatory, and explicit language. Original BBCW
broadcast title: The Experiment. 4-part series, 60 minutes each.
