A prison, a library and a helicopter crash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Netflix is releasing a new “unscripted” reality series titled The New Stanford Prison Experiment on October 20, 2026 ten days after the 37th anniversary of the October 10, 1989, murder-by-helicopter of three casino executives.

Les Premières Nations ont peuplé ces terres avant même que nous en tracions les frontières. Les explorateurs français ont navigué sur nos flots bleus. Les colons anglais ont choisi leur pays : chez nous, les loyaux, chez vous, les révolutionnaires.Il y a eu quelques conflits : l’invasion de Québec en 1775 et les batailles qui se sont échelonnées de 1812 à 1814.Depu
