The Boys from Brazil (1978) & Das Experiment (2001): Are Monsters Born or Made?

Would you kill baby Hitler? That classic moral dilemma sits at the heart of The Boys from Brazil (1978), where Gregory Peck's Josef Mengele pursues a chilling plan to revive the Reich. Adapted from Ira Levin's Nazi-hunter thriller, the film blends real history with speculative science fiction in unsettling ways. After that, we tackle Das Experiment (2001), a dramatic take on the Stanford Prison Experiment. We talk through how the film captures the terrifying speed at which normal people can be dehumanised, corrupted, and broken by power.
