Channel 4 is told to 'hang its head in utter shame' over an experiment tricking Brits into Nazi-era disability beliefs
'The Experiment' sets out to explore how easily ordinary people can be drawn toward Nazi-era thinking about disability when brutal attitudes are packaged as compassionate ones. Reactions have been divided, with some viewers saying they turned the programme off due to its distressing content, while others have described it as an 'essential watch'.
Disability Rights UK has urged people to watch the 'sinister' experiment.
One actor on the show called it the 'most difficult role I've ever had'.
