Theme The Sociological Perspective

DescriptionA documentary of the famous Zimbardo prison simulation study at Stanford University in 1971. It examines the roles of prisoners and guards, and the construction of power and authority within prisons. This film also serves as a way to introduce ethical concerns, as the study would most likely not be permitted today. This film is 50 minutes.
