The Wave
Synopsis
What starts as a simple classroom experiment to teach students about fascism quickly spirals out of control. A charismatic teacher's lesson on how easily a totalitarian regime can take hold leads to the creation of 'The Wave,' a movement that sweeps through the school. As students embrace the new order, one student, Laurie, begins to question the direction things are heading and tries to stop the experiment before it's too late.
