The Wave

A high school teacher in Germany conducts a social experiment in his class: creating an autocracy in one week. What begins as a pedagogical exercise turns terrifying as the students increasingly identify with the movement and begin excluding those who don't fit in. Dennis Gansel adapts a real-life American incident to reflect on how fascism can emerge in any society that lets its guard down. Disturbing and pedagogically essential.

One of the most terrifying social experiments ever brought to film. The German movie that should be shown in every high school around the world. The ending hits like a punch.
