An interesting documentary about an experiment to create violence and tension upon a raft that backfired on the Santiago who organised it as it produced only unity and lifelong bonds despite his provocation.
The old footage is fantastic and the interviews with the seven that are still alive are revealing but I would have liked a description of what happened to the men on the boat after the experiment. Absolutely no background to what happened to them and that lets the film down slightly .
In a way this was the forerunner to reality TV as basically this was Big Brother but on a boat . I'd definitely tune in to watch a modern day version of that .
