About Dictator
The show Dictator ended on December 15, 2015, on the network Play.
Dictator was a social experiment series where eight young adults lived for eight days as citizens of a simulated dictatorship. The participants, all career-oriented and accustomed to freedom, were placed in a controlled environment where they experienced a society without rights or personal freedoms. The experiment aimed to observe how individuals behave when stripped of their usual liberties, with windows sealed, no personal items allowed, and communication with the outside world cut off. Two psychologists, Joris Bruynincks and Sarah Van Pelt, monitored the participants closely, providing insights into social behavior under extreme conditions.
The series was a reality-based program that premiered in 2015. It explored human behavior and social dynamics in a confined setting, providing a unique look at authority, compliance, and resistance. Participants had no idea what to expect from the experiment, and their actions were driven by the circumstances and psychological pressures of living under constant surveillance in a dictatorship simulation. The show consisted of a single season with eight episodes, each lasting approximately 60 minutes, and it concluded after its final episode aired on December 15, 2015.
