The Wave - A movie about cults

Stumble ThisI saw this in elementary school and I thought it was great. I still do, so here it is on the sift. :)
Based on the real experience of a high school class in Palo Alto, CA in April 1967, whose teacher wanted to explain the rise of the Nazi party to his students.
I'm not entirely sure which channels to put it in, so feel free to add whichever you feel appropriate.

also, cool to see early work from Bruce Davison. great actor.
i hadn't seen this one. according to the iMDb page, though, it's a made-for-TV, which explains that. nice pick.
and still one channel left, if any seem fitting
"Strength through discipline, strength through community, strength through action!"
reminds me of a more recent film, that had a shorter but similar motto, for their cinematic fascist regime?
oh, and this also reminded me of Apt Pupil.
if anyone else hasn't caught that one yet, it's worth a rental.
Nope, I can't get it past 9:26.
Some good reading right there
