Overview

Double Exposure examines the role of film in shaping social psychology's landmark postwar experiments.

Examining the dramaturgy, staging and filming of these experiments, including Milgram's Obedience Experiments, the Stanford Prison Experiment and many more, Double Exposure recovers a new set of narratives.
