West Newton Cinema As an experiment in social dynamics, an idealistic teacher and his 30 students use the classroom to simulate a dictatorship. A fictional retelling of an actual 1967 experiment conducted by a California high school history teacher, this searing and chilling drama set in contemporary Germany raises and answers the question: is a Third Reich-style regime a possibility? Based upon the novel of the same name by Todd Strasser.
