Berlin & Beyond '09 Review: "The Wave"

17 January 2009 3:03 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

In 1967, a high school history teacher in Palo Alto, California, tried to explain to his students how Germany could allow the Nazi party to take over their country. He decided to show them by conducting an experiment in fascism, starting a movement that emphasizes “strength in unity.” This experiment inspired a 1981 ABC Afterschool Special and subsequently a novel based on the teleplay. Twenty-some years later, German director Dennis Gansel revisits the story in the country that struggles the most with its history of fascism. Set in modern day, Die Welle (or The Wave) appears to try and argue that no matter how much time has past and how often they dismiss it, fascism can always regain control.
