DESCRIPTION:
(from National Geographic Content's press release, April 2024) National Geographic announced today the greenlight of THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT: UNLOCKING THE TRUTH (W.T.), an electrifying documentary series that explores the notorious Stanford Prison Experiment like never before. From director Juliette Eisner, executive producer Alex Braverman and Muck Media, the three-part series unravels the layers of intrigue and controversy surrounding one of psychology's most debated studies from the past 50 years. The Stanford Prison Experiment was born from psychology professor Dr. Philip Zimbardo's quest to understand the power of situation over human behavior. In 1971, Dr. Zimbardo paid two dozen college-aged participants to live in a mock prison, observing how randomly assigned "prisoner" and "guard" roles influenced behavior. What started out as a self-contained university experiment turned into a media spectacle that captured the imagination and attention of the world, defining our understanding of human nature and forever changing the course of psychology. There was only one problem: We were never told the whole story of what happened in that "prison."
