I just saw a movie that I think many of you going to want to have a look at. It is called "The Experiment" -- in German with subtitles -- and is a fictionalized account of the Zimbardo Prison Experiment. It came out in Germany in 2000 (I think) but the Englsh subtitled DVD and VHS didn't hit Canada until a few weeks ago. (I don't know when it came out in the US, but I notice that it is available at Amazon.com.)
It is set in Germany. For the first hour or so it stays relatively close to the main outlines of the real study, but in the last 45 minutes or so it gets a fair bit more violent and spectacular than were the actual events. In any case, it is always interesting to see what the popular media do with psychological research. Regards, -- Christopher D.
