The Wave
When a popular German high school teacher finds himself teaching autocracy as part of the school’s project week, he’s less than enthusiastic, as are his students who grumble, “The Nazis sucked. We get it.” Struck by the teenagers’ complacency and unwitting arrogance, he devises an unorthodox experiment that quickly spirals out of control. Based on true events in Palo Alto, California.
