Help me work out what this film was

Trying to remember a film or maybe a TV show I watched a while ago and Google has failed me.
It was set in college, there was a special class or study group, students had to write essays to join it. The professor was actually doing mind control experiments convincing them they had done awful things.
I think it was maybe based on a true story potentially MK ultra, I can see it in my mind but can't remember the title.
shamelessly posting for traffic as it is driving me mad trying to find it Blush

The Wave

Google saying that's about a tsunami? Is there two the waves?
This was definitely set in a college I think in the 70s/80s most likely America but maybe UK.

Sorry I meant The Wave/Die Welle from 2008. But with the extra information I think you mean the film The Wave from 1981 :)

Was it the Unabomber series on Netflix? That has a bit where Ted Kaczynski is recruited into a psych experiment at College.

In the Wave the teacher doesn't convince them they have done awful things, I don't think - they actually start behaving that way, showing how easy it was for people to get sucked in by the Hitler Youth

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra

The in popular culture section gives movies/tv shows with references to MK Ultra - might be one of those.

Was also going to say Netflix unabomber

@AConvivialHost @Spanielsanddaughters it was the unabomber series thankyou! I was thinking it was a whole show about that scene for some reason Blush
