How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A brutal found-footage descent into anthropological exploitation and moral collapse, where the horror comes as much from what the filmmakers do to their subjects as from the cannibals themselves. Unwatchable for many, but undeniably a landmark of transgressive cinema.
