An unscripted series that reimagines one of history's most controversial social experiments.
In this bold reimagining of one of history's most controversial social experiments, 30 willing participants enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners.
Thrust into a system of power, hierarchy, and control, they'll discover whether ordinary people inevitably conform to the roles they're given - or whether empathy, morality, and individuality can withstand the forces pushing them in the opposite direction.
As the pressure builds and the balance of power begins to shift, the central question feels more urgent than ever: Does power corrupt?
