Groups which have all-powerful leaders who control the way their followers think have one basic thing in common: they have found people willing to take the essential first step of surrendering to an authority figure they hope has all the answers. Throughout history, many people have taken that first step by joining a small or large group. Sometimes, that group or cult engulfs an entire nation. We are all vulnerable to persuasion and long-term conditioning. This film exposes how hypnosis and psychological manipulation occurs in sport, religion, the military – and on you.
