Britain’s Mind Control, Propaganda & Psychological Experiments: The UK’s MKUltra?

Britain’s history of mind control origins, propaganda, and psychological experiments is far deeper than most people realise.
This documentary explores the origins of British mind control research, from early mesmerism and Victorian asylum practices to WW1 shell shock studies, WW2 propaganda, BBC morale campaigns, and psyops.

Could Britain have had its own version of Project MK-Ultra?
Across Victorian institutions, early behavioural science, Aleister Crowley’s occult experiments, ESP research, and the controversial trials at Porton Down, this film investigates the forgotten files, declassified documents, and psychological research that shaped a century of influence and control.

In Part One, we trace the evolution of psychological manipulation and behavioural experimentation in Britain - including the work of Freud, Jung, Pavlov, early hypnotic practices, wartime propaganda strategies, and the foundations of modern psyops.
