Editing Stanford prison experiment (section)

=== In popular culture ===
Italian moviemaker [[Carlo Tuzii]] was the first director to film a story based on the experiment when, in 1977, he directed the [[TV film|television movie]] {{lang|it|La gabbia}} ('The cage'), for [[Rai 1]]. Tuzii's original story called for a group of twenty young people from various social backgrounds, who were divided randomly into "guards" and "prisoners" and instructed to spend one month on opposite sides of an enormously high gate, with [[barbed wire]] on top, built in the middle of a large park. Before principal photography started, however, some concerns from [[RAI]] executives forced Tuzii and the screenwriters to alter the script into a very similar story to the actual Stanford experiment, including the outcome. [[Miguel Bosé]] featured as prisoner Carlo; [[progressive pop]] music band [[Pooh (band)|Pooh]] scored the movie and had a hit in Italy with a 7-inch edit of the theme tune.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}
