There's a video I saw years ago, set in the 70s (I think) about a college professor who sets out to prove to his students that they are all vulnerable to mind control, and he used Hitler and his followers as an example. He then came up with an experiment that involved the students who...who ultimately proved his point. I think the name of the video had a number in it...but I can't remember it.... Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Coffee...of the failing memory class
The Milgram (Stanley) experiment
Yes, it's called "The Wave". It's kind of a cheesy ABC after school special but based on a true story. It's available online at http://www.dannyhaszard.com/cultvideos.htm.
If you want to buy the videotape new it's only available some educational supplies site for like $85.
But I bought mine for around $30 on ebay. Yup, I came to find it was pirated but good quality. I think the seller was tenaciousdee or something like that.
Thanks Blondie, but I dont' think that's the one.. The Milman experiment involved electric shock, and I don't remember that being part of the film. It only involved the students too...

Here's the teacher's true life account of the experiment:
An amazing report.
Thank you so much for posting this teachers story.
For me, well worth the read. Thanks again!

MJ, Thanks again! I never read that account. I remember the film was, as you said, kinda cheesy...but the message was really powerful.

I read quite a bit of this and it's kind of scary to me.
