HISTORY/DOCUMENTARY/ANIMATION
Watching this film gave me great anxiety and made me literally ill for the first half hour to forty five minutes.
It angered me so much until , what i was waiting for , the inevitable happened.
Although there was some good that came of the experiment , that did not happen overnight.
Released July 17th in the US.
Filmed in California and Canada.
Based on truths.
The story : In August of 1971 , during summer break at the Stanford University in California - Philip Zimbardo , doctor of psychology , decided to do an experiment.
Along with fellow colleagues, Zimbardo's study , on paper , was a simple one that they all agreed upon.
Enrolled in the experiment were 24 male students that were currently attending colleges around the world , who after being interviewed and found to be psychologically stable , would get paid 15 dollars a day for up to 2 weeks , to play the roll of prison detainee or prison guard in a fake prison.
The result was to prove the effects on prison inmates when their rights were taken away.
But there were rules and guidelines on the paper that each signed that by day became increasingly disposable , making the experiment more like a real life prison nightmare that no one signed up for.
