The Raft
- Language talk: Dutch
The Raft is an award-winning documentary about a floating human laboratory. The experiment saw five men and six women of various backgrounds drift across the Atlantic on a raft for 101 days. Mexican anthropologist Santiago Genovés was inspired by the experiences he had during a plane hijacking and devised this scientific project in 1973 to study the relationship between aggression and sexual attraction in humans. What was intended as an experiment ultimately resulted in a theatrical reality show. As a group experiment, The Raft shares similarities with The Stanford Prison Experiment.
Social and cultural psychologist Cor van Halen from Radboud University discusses the social dynamic on board The Raft.
