  An informative look at the beginning of the Mondo craze. Apparently, the two men who started the trend weren't as interested in exploitation as those who followed.

  A great documentary about some of the most shocking, and significant of the 60's "Mondo" shockumentary cycle, the films of Gualtiero Jacopetti, and Franco Prosperi.
