Need help finding a documentary about mind control.

October 4, 2008 6:42 PM

Looking for a documentary about subliminal messaging, the power of suggestion and holding up a armored truck.

I watched a documentary years ago about a science experiment that used motivational suggestion to brainwash the subjects into robbing an armored truck. All I can remember from it is they used a cheesy "power" song and the color green. Please help me find it. Extra points if you can find it online. Thanks.

It was Derren Brown, a UK hypnotist, and the show was called 'The Heist'. Link.

Yep, Happy Dave's got it. It's not a documentary, but his TV show in the U.K. You can find most episodes on YouTube.

I might even go as far to say that "Zeitgeist" (1 and 2) are about, and even participate in some ways in, mind control.
