The Experiment
2026•1h 8m•Documentary•TV Movie

Mat Fraser and Sophie Morgan invite members of the public to take part in a provocative experiment inside a brand new “progressive” residential facility. Visitors are encouraged to take a closer look, meet the residents, and discover a very different type of care. But as the experiment unfolds, nothing is quite as it seems. As events take an increasingly unsettling turn and troubling ideas begin to emerge, will anyone question what’s really going on?
