Presented in collaboration with the World Science Festival, an annual citywide event with innovative programs that bridge the arts and sciences. This year, the Museum and Festival will co-present a special preview screening of The Stanford Prison Experiment (Dir. Kyle Patrick Alvarez. 2015, 122 mins.), a standout from this year’s Sundance Film Festival, based on Dr. Philip Zimbardo’s landmark 1971 study on the psychology of imprisonment, in which a group of male undergraduates were randomly assigned to be either a guard or prisoner in a simulated jail. The screening will be followed by a conversation with filmmaker Kyle Patrick Alvarez and social psychologist Christina Maslach. The conversation will be moderated by Jeffrey Toobin, writer and legal analyst.
