Description:
Based on true events, this drama follows a high school teacher who designs an experiment to show students how easily they can be influenced by the same social forces that fueled Nazi Germany. The film is a powerful reminder of history and the importance of fighting manipulation and prejudice. It offers a deeply personal look at how people can fall into groupthink and the vital need to question those influences.
