A fascinating new German film has just turned up that’s sure to ruffle a few feathers given its subject matter. “Die Welle” (The Wave) examines the possibilities of how a new Nazi styled dictatorship could rise to ascendancy, even against a strong background of education regarding it’s dark history.
The whole thing is based on an actual experiment carried out by schoolteacher Ron Jones back in California in 1967 in which he subjected students to a harsh regime of obedience and conformity. The experiment involved the recital of logos, a uniform, membership cards and even their own salute.
