Fear

It can cause irrational behavior. It can trigger a heart attack. It can even drive a person insane. This program comes to grips with fear—an emotion so fundamental that every human being can relate to it. Fear is examined from a number of angles, including how prolonged exposure to high levels of anxiety can alter the human brain, how the U.S. Army desensitizes recruits to the horrors of combat, and how the feeling of fright is induced for entertainment at the Disney/MGM Studios Theme Park’s Tower of Terror. A Discovery Channel Production. (53 minutes)
