Originally posted by geroin Stanford Prison Experiment - Psychology of Imprisonment The Stanford prison experiment was a psychological study of the human response to captivity, in particular, to the real world circumstances of prison life and the effects of imposed social roles on behavior. It was conducted in 1971 by a team of researchers led by Philip Zimbardo of Stanford University. Undergraduate volunteers played the roles of guards and prisoners living in a mock prison built in the basement of the Stanford psychology building. Prisoners and guards rapidly adapted to their assigned roles, stepping beyond the boundaries of what had been predicted and leading to genuinely dangerous and psychologically damaging situations. One-third of guards were judged to have exhibited "genuine" sadistic tendencies, while many prisoners were emotionally traumatized and two had to be removed from the experiment early. Despite the now highly unsanitary and out of control conditions evident, only one of 50 observers, graduate interviewer Christina Maslach, objected to the experiment. Zimbardo then ended the experiment early. Ethical concerns surrounding the famous experiment often draw comparisons to the Milgram experiment, which was conducted in 1963 at Yale University by Stanley Milgram, Zimbardo's former high school friend. Must Watch VIDEO LINK 50minutes

there's a great autobiographical book on the topic of the pyschology of imprisonment (not the experiment)

Man's Search for Meaning - by Viktor Frankl

he talks about his imprisonment at a concentration camp during the holocaust. a very powerful read, i recommend to most of my friends. a short read too, the main autobio is only 100 pages long.

Has anyone seen any documentaries on Charles Manson and/or The Family.

Part 2: Are We Real?

This one is mind-boggling. I'm familiar with some of the ideas posed in these 2 parts but they really take it to another level here.

Highly recommended.

ps. There's also a third part but I can't seem to find it. If anyone has any luck then please post it.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Radio Revolution: The Rise and Fall of The Big 8

http://www.radiorevolutiondvd.com/

This is a documentary talking about a Windsor/Detroit radio station that still exists today but was once the dominant radio station in all of north america. Canadian Content rules forced the station to change its format and it lost its footing as one of the biggest radio stations. Documentary outlines the history of the station and has lots of good interviews with some faces you will recognize who were DJ's on the station.

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but JESUS CAMP is incredible.
(and incredibly funny if you smoke up beforehand)

the worlds dangerous gang
the worlds dangerous drug
jesus camp
road to guantanamo
metal a headbangers journey

I'm not sure if anyone's recommended it yet, but Cocaine Cowboys is a phenomenal documentary.

Here's the website:

wikid thread, documentaries are my fav thing to watch. we spend so much time watching made up things, we forget how rich our real world is.

Watched Paul Oakenfold's 24/7 this past weekend. Not quite a documentary, but it's a pretty cool behind the scenes thing told by other DJ's about his life.

Not sure if this one was mentioned.

The Psycedelic Pioneers

very liberal, open-minded, and well done look at the work done by hoffman, leary, huxley etc. in the early '60s. aired on the history channel and is a must-see.

this is one of the most accurate american documentaries about WW2 and the role of soviet union (russia+other countries) in this war, ironically its made in 1943, almost 65 years ago


Part1: [[ LINK REMOVED ]]

Why did the Russian submarine Kursk sink in 2000 killing all 110 people on board?
