Film Event feedback:
"The film was very good, really well done, and very valuable for A Level Psychology students; it was really quite accurate/ true to the real experiment. The staff were very helpful and the event ran very smoothly - definitely something I'd like to do again, not least of all because we felt very special and important having our very own, private screening!"
