6.9

This film is a harrowing depiction of the real-life psychological study conducted in 1971. A group of volunteers is randomly assigned to be either guards or prisoners, and the experiment quickly spirals out of control as the guards become increasingly sadistic and the prisoners dehumanized. The film explores themes of power dynamics, abuse, and the role of ethics in scientific research. With a talented cast and powerful performances, it is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged experience.
