IFWT #33 - Cannibal Holocaust (1980) | Video Nasty series ep.3

In 1979, Italian exploitation filmmaker Ruggero Deodato, would assemble a cast comprising of Actors Studio alumni, indigenous Americans and international porn stars, head to the Amazon jungle, and embark on a long and treacherous shoot that would create one of the most depraved and maligned films to grace the cinematheque in the 20th century.  But here we are less than a decade from its 50 year anniversary, and with the tide turning in its favor, we explore the stories behind the scenes, the film itself and if Cannibal Holocaust really does deserve the accolade for the most notorious banned video nasty.
