By combining actual footage with reenactments, this film offers both a documentary and fictional account of the life of Adolf Hitler, from his childhood in Vienna, through the rise of the Third Reich, to his final act of suicide in the waning days of WWII. The film also provides considerable, and often shocking, detail of the atrocities enacted by the Nazi regime under Hitler's command.

Slave Trade in the World Today(it)

The film documents modern slave trade through a number of African countries, under dictatorship rule. The filming was conducted both in public places, and sometimes with the use of hidden cameras, for high impact scenes of nudity, sex, and violence - and a few surprises, as slaves made out of peregrins to Asia, and slave traders paid in traveller checks.

The third installment in one of the most disturbing shockumentary series ever made, and it gets even more sick! Includes an autopsy of an unfortunately real dead infant, a cooking tutorial on road-kill, a walk-through of an abandoned house cleared after the homicide of an exchange-student, and a video of re-enactments of workplace incidents.

Naked and Violent(it)

Cult director Sergio Martino, during the most glorious mondo years, delivered Naked and Violent, a documentary which unveils the brutality of the USA.
