CAPTIVE MINDS: HYPNOSIS & BEYOND (1983)

Pretty damn groovy (57 minute) documentary on mind-control, hypnosis and 
altered-states-of-consciousness in the fields of advertising, 
politics, cults, and  psychiatry, 
revealing what you need to do if you want either 
to avoid mind-control or embrace it.
