Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
The new film "The Stanford Prison Experiment" recounts a psychological study gone awry. In 1971, a Stanford professor enlisted 24 students to participate in a simulation of life in prison.
Half of them were assigned roles as prisoners - the other half were told to play guards.
The film was based in large part on video and audio recordings of the famous experiment.
We talk with the real life professor behind the experiment - Dr. Phillip Zimbardo.
