Filmmaker
Scotese takes his camera and crew to the most depressed areas of the
globe to document the injustice caused by the domination of the "chosen
people" over others. Again and again, the third world falls
to armies and dictators fixed on imprisoning fellow human beings through
force and poverty. The film opens with environmental disasters and the
devastating cancerous effects of atomic experiments on people in Western
United States and then exposes the morbid result of pollution in other
parts of the world. From the unthinkable meals of the Australian aborigines
to forced cannibalism in the Amazon, Scotese's film builds to its disturbing
climax. This is grim entertainment, a disturbing coda to the more accessible
Mondo films of the '60s and '70.
Giuseppe
Maria Scotese was an Italian filmmaker who lensed the majority of his

adventure' film GIRL

at age 85 in 2002.
