A French documentary put a new twist on the classic Milgram experiment, which showed that ordinary people will torture a stranger at the command of an authority figure. In the documentary, reality TV contestants applied what they believed were real electric shocks to a game show contestant answering questions, "with the voltage increasing by increments from 80 to 460 volts with each incorrect response." Sixty four out of 80 people "carried on with the game until it became something akin to a torture session," reports France24.
