Two years after their international smash Mondo Cane became the most controversial documentary of its time, directors Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi again ignited a firestorm of outrage and acclaim as they traveled the globe to film an all-new exploration of primitives, penitents, and perversions in a world gone mad. From the burning monks of Saigon to the slave markets of the Sudan, from religious hysteria to ecological horrors, from set and art to life and death, this is a an odyssey of beauty and barbarism that goes far beyond anything moviegoers had ever seen before. This film was also known as Mondo Pazzo.
