Mentalist Derren Brown engineers an audacious social experiment demonstrating how manipulation can lead an ordinary person to commit an appalling act.
In The Push, Brown exposes the psychological secrets of obedience and social compliance.
He lifts the lid on the terrifying truth that, when confronted with authority, our natural instinct is to unflinchingly obey without question – to such an extent that even the most moral people can be made to commit the most horrendous acts, simply because they are told to do so.
In a complex, make-believe world in which 70 actors are taking part, one unsuspecting man - totally unaware that everyone is acting and that he's being filmed - is manipulated through a series of events into seeing if he can commit the ultimate act: murder.
