Channel 4 viewers 'switch off' an upsetting experiment showing Brits failing to challenge Nazi-era ideas about disabled people
Disability Rights UK is calling on the public to watch 'The Experiment', a 'sinister' Channel 4 programme that attempts to lead ordinary Brits into endorsing Nazi-era views on disability. Described as an 'essential watch', the show examines how easily people can be drawn toward cruelty when it is framed as compassion.
One of the show's actors said it is 'difficult to watch' and described it as his 'most difficult role' ever.
A review argued that the programme's heavy-handed manipulation undermines its overall impact.
