The Stanford Prison Experiment: Six Days of Power | Animated Documentary

In 1971, a simulated prison at Stanford became the setting for one of psychology’s most controversial studies. This animated dramatization explores the experiment, its early end, and the questions it raises about authority and human behavior.

Some scenes and dialogue are dramatized. Further reading: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31380664/ English narration and on-screen English subtitles. Indonesian subtitles available.
