Wikipedia article
'Shocking Asia' is a 1974 mondo documentary film written and directed by Rolf Olsen with Ingeborg Stein Steinbach. The film was however banned in Finland due to its graphic content. A sequel titled 'Shocking Asia II: The Last Taboos' was released in 1985.
Content
As with most other films of similar nature (such as 'Faces of Death' and 'Traces of Death'), 'Shocking Asia' does not follow a traditional narrative structure, instead neglecting plot for images and video footage of bizarre and macabre situations such as animal cruelty, strange rituals, footage of deformed children and a sex change operation. Most of the clips used are claimed to be real, although this has yet to be verified.
