In 1979 four documentary film makers disappeared in the jungle of South America while shooting a film about cannibalism... Six months later the New York University, along with the Pan American Broadcasting Corporation, sent a team in search of the film makers. They would never have been prepared for what they found. Owing to the graphic and harrowing nature of the film, Cannibal Holocaust has been banned in over fifty countries and has achieved a notoriety surpassed by no other horror movie.
