📖 Synopsis
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.
