They allowed the filmmaker to film inside a mental institution and use the patients as the cast, yet as soon as he was about to showcase his documentary, they sued him for "breaking the patient's privacy" even though they allowed him to do so. Like huh?
You remember Boeing whistleblower? They spent millions of dollars hiring hitmen to kill them, but cannot use some amount of the same money to just fix the mistakes. Like the saying goes: Money changes people, i did not know they gonna be this dumb lol.
That's... just normal US behavior though? If something can make money, it will and if there's a risk of making somebody lose money, you're held against gun-point and silenced. That's how the whole system has been working for decades already. Much easier to notice when you're not a citizen though cause they constantly try different methods of brainwashing everybody (patriotism, spreading false international news, absurd fear mongering etc.)
9:18 " It violated the patients privacy and integrity" Words from the same government, who mistreated these mentally ill criminals, with no other choice and making there life a living hell. i agree on the point, that they did some crime to enter into the hospital, but why on earth they mad, when someone just showed what they made mistakes on?
not everyone in a mental hospital was a criminal. most were held there against their will while they were perfectly fine and didn’t commit a single crime.
I think the government who was supposed to oversee the conditions of the hospital were more responsible for violating patients dignity than a filmmaker trying to expose them with a documentary but judges have to gargle the balls of those higher up within their own institution. Weak ass simps.
Because the Massachusetts state government knew if the footage were to be seen by the public then they would've been investigated on a federal level and would've been seen as a scandal. Remember mental health was not taken seriously back in the 60s unlike today. Had this footage been shown the state government would've had multiple investigations of corruption, mistreatment of patients, and covering it up. The state government got away with it cause they had the power to make it go away.
Making a documentary filmmaker create a documentary about the collapse of the government after a nuclear tragedy then you tell the guy, "It's too disturbing..we're banning it-" but the government officials hid the fact that they're not prepared for everything, luckily ppl were able to see it abroad
I think in this case, the BBC took the right path, the documentary was too real, the result being the social disturbance only second to the real thing. Would you allow your children to watch it. Even today? As the old saying goes, "Ignorance is Bliss".
A 16mm version of it was shown in many university unions. People expected to play a useful part in their country during their adult lives and the firebombing of Dresden was no secret, but this was something which might possibly happen. To them.
The scene in Mondo Cane of money burned to send it to the afterlife is a Chinese practice. But they don't use real money, they use symbolic printed paper charmingly known as Hell Money.
i was wondering why its even mentioned, its so common in my country and theres nothing bad about it, the worst that could happen is the hell notes being littered or just the smoke being too strong.
@@avidbreather6539 because oooo scary foreigners direspecting money, oooooo communism! probably. Mondo Cane honestly looks like half of it is just "LOOK HOW BARBARIC AND UNCIVILIZED THOSE PEOPLE ARE!!!!!" slop to make urbanites and suburbanites feel morally superior living in capitalist 1960s societies.

BBC: Asks filmmaker to make a documentary about a terrible and graphic topic. BBC: Gets angry and flips out that the documentary contains terrible and graphic content.
How is nobody realizing this isn't a documentary? Just bc he keeps calling it a documentary doesn't mean it is one. If you have people acting and reading a script you can't call it a documentary.
Watched Titicut Follies years ago. What was truly horrible was seeing that some of the patients were most likely autistic or on the spectrum, yet treated like they were mentally challenged or deranged.
I actually knew one of the patients in that movie. He came to many of my family's holiday gatherings, as one of his caregivers was married to my aunt. He never talked about his time there, and no one asked. We just did our best to make him feel welcomed. He was not a criminal, but his behavior did run a risk of being misinterpreted.
@@rossgadsby9663 he once forgot to pick up his paycheck at his minimum wage job, so they mailed it to him. This confused him, so he started saying bizarre things about who he would have to fight to get his money. This led to my father getting a phone call from the FBI, under suspicion that he might try to kill the president. He was not a violent man, but he often said bizarre things like that.
@@rossgadsby9663 he once made threatening statements over confusion surrounding his paycheck. The FBI called my father because they thought he said he was going to go after the President.
There's one called Let There Be Light. It looks harmless enough but the US gov't suppressed it for decades. It was about soldiers with "combat neurosis" after WW 2. It's in the public domain now.
I forgot which of the Mondo Cane style films it was, but they sent a crew out in a helicopter to film some b-roll scenery and everything had been going fine and they came across a group rounding people up and were filming until they started getting shot at. It turned out they managed to film a massacre taking place and that was the only evidence since the region was trying to cover it up.
On The Cove, as it's stated on the documentary by Ric O'Barry himself he did not turned activist because a beloved dolphin passed away. That same beloved dolphin actually and consciously commited suicide. Which was something believed to be a "human only trait"
@@gibsonmunyi7225 ?? what unfounded claims? Did you saw "The Cove"? I just stated what's in the documentary itself told by Ric O'Barry himself... Apart from that it's scientific common knowledge at this day and age that whales and dolphins have human like inteligence, comunication and intricate social behaviours so his statement isn't farfetched at all.
I can definitely see why a documentary that’s just autopsy footage with no context would be problematic. Rather than helping people come to terms with their mortality, you could very easily make their fears even worse. That’s an active disservice to the general public. Now, if you actually explain things and give context to this kind of footage, then you can actually help people come to terms with it instead of just scaring them
Me and my 11yr old heard that Dr's watch operations on UA-cam.... so we thought we'd see if we could find one. Video starts with simple diagnosis, patient information and the procedure... a trans femerol amputation. All is looking good so far... next clip is a leg 3/4 removed. It was so jarring, neither of us knew what to say. We both agreed, if the op had started from first incision, it would be interesting and informative.. but cutting straight to a grey limb being cut with a saw...it was too shocking. I agree 100% with what you're saying x
@@theredqueen6911 Nah but that's gore with added context of daily life. The autopsy one just has doctors removing organs and shit. If you didn't know any better, you'd say they were preparing dinner.
They also had another similar as faces but called traces of death (filmed years after faces). I used to rent both these series movies when I was a kid on VHS from my local video store rental. I was young and these were very intense movies that held my curiosity but always made me want to look away from some of the gore.
Faces was also faked, just like Mondo Cane. Those are not documentaries. They fake the footage and claim it's real. It's an entire genre known as "Mondo Films" now.
The War Game reminds me of Threads, a drama BBC aired in the early 1980s that's based on a similar premise of a nuclear attack on Britain and follows the aftermath as the public turns to looting, the government collapses, and people struggle to survive in the following decades. It's also a difficult watch as it's incredibly bleak and grim, but I still find myself recommending it often, it's essential viewing.
Was also going to mention Threads in relation to War Games. I was a kid living in the UK when I first saw it. There was no real hype around it and no real explanation that it was fictional until the end. Bleak is not the word.
If you enjoyed "The War Game" then watch "It Happened Here" (Dir: Brownlow), a low-budget film drama on the aftermath of a German invasion of UK. And as 1 of the protagonists said in the film, "the trouble with fascism is you have to use fascist methods to get rid of it". Disturbingly convincing with some great actors, mainly unpaid , many non-professional
Long before 1980 a BBC play ended with a middle aged couple startled by the ringing of the telephone. The radio had been silent for a while, but this gave them hope to look out once more at the devastation around them. They were going to rejoin the civilization they belonged to. Till they were machine gunner. "It always gets them", said the corporal working the telephone wires.
Honestly, though. The War Games is absolutely terrifying. Like, it's not just the graphic content. It's how matter of fact it's presented. There's this one part where we're seeing the effect of the initial blast depending on how far away someone is and they cut to a crying child and the narrator just flatly says "At this rage, staring into the blast causes the retina to blister" and it's, oh great. Little kid just got eyes burned out and we just move onto something else. It's filmed and Narrated how you'd expect a nature doc to be made and it's such a weirdly chilling contract to the horror that's being displayed on screen.
One documentary that I found disturbing was heartbeat in the brain. It wasn't disturbing because of the gore but because this lady had the balls to perform the brain surgery on herself. Although the full movie has never been shown to a wider audience a partial film of it can be seen on youtube.
@@daniellewillis2767 She's still alive so I guess, she seems really loopy though looking through her Wiki page (not that someone who does brain surgery on herself for no reason would be sane...)
the documentary about the mental "health" institution really went through "you can film it, but since you'll make us look bad we just need some yearsto fix all the shit we do and then you can"
I’ve just watched Mondo Cane and, having done my share of travelling, all I can say is there’s no society or culture that isn’t bizarre and alien, yet we’re all more similar than we’d ever care to admit. The film does a great job at shining a light on this.
Watched Cannibal Holocaust before. Knowing it was fake made it watchable, but it was still amazing to see how convincing it looked as a film of that era. Great work on covering all these documentaries! It was wild to learn that I worked at the hospital where Stan Brakhage filmed one of his documentaries. Now I want to track it down sometime.
I totally wasn’t paying attention. But I thought it was real, and watched it letting curiosity get the best of me. Hella embarrassing to find out in the comments.
My mum had to do a rotation in a mental hospital during the 70's in Australia. She said it was a horrific place people sitting in their own filth, piss, vomit, come, blood and excrement, people tied to beds, naked people, people sleeping in the corridors on the floor as they were jamed in like sardines, forced to have horrific treatments like electro shock, and that was just the tip of the iceberg.
@kaytaylor1855 maybe they'd made some changes by then or you were in a higher funded hospital. It scared my mum enough that when I needed to go into a facility in the late 90's as a child and could only get a bed in an adult facility she wouldn't let me (with major help from dr's, hospital, medications, councillors and physiatrists) who all agreed it was way better to not put me in an adult facility as I would be exposed to way worse things
I remember watching The Cove in my 12th grade English class. It was horrifying but also a really well made documentary. We watched it along with The Bear Man documentary. What a year for scarring docs lol
I also watched it as a teenager, it definitely stuck with me. What a letdown that after all these years and the danger the filmmakers put themselves in, the slaughter is still happening.
I remember seeing an autopsy in one of my classes. Teacher told us to leave if we couldn’t handle it. Some left most didn’t and when she played the video some others left. I stayed and tbh it does make you feel sick watching.
I was gonna say, Cannibal Holocaust was a pioneering found footage horror film, not a documentary. I knew he’d been arrested for killing the actors and why he made the film. And I spend too much time watching Shudder. 😂
also the reason why the cannibal tribe kills the documentary crew in the movie is because the documentary crew was committing atrocities like setting buildings with people on fire and assaulting tribeswomen to make the tribe look more dangerous and fabricating stuff for their doc. and the professor who got back the footage brings up the idea of who really were the "uncivilized" ones. It makes an interesting point, but, they still actually endangered people by setting stuff on fire and abused animals while filming the movie, so it kinda still was what it criticized.
Wiseman's film is the reason I refused to go to a mental hospital when I got severely depressed after an assault, I eventually got forced to go. When I refused to take medication they wouldn't tell me what it was for I got strapped to a bed for being for being out of control.
Considering all of mine calling him out for being a r@pist who thinks his victims should be glad keep getting deleted we know he's in tight with yt because they love scammers, spammers, bullies, and trolls. It's the rest of us who can't speak our minds
Back in the 80s, there was a video going around called Faces of Death. It showed people dying in gruesome ways. I was in my early teens. I thought it was crazy.
I absolutely thought that movie would be on this list... I wonder if it sort of lost its shock value in the era of Live Leaks, etc., that younger folks are not even aware it once existed.
I felt the same about the asylum one. Dude said mental illness made them not know right from wrong and for a second, I really thought he was going to argue in favor of how the hospital staff treated the patients 😭😭
Same - I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt so scrolled through the comments as I still listened. Glad he knew. Granted, the animal scenes are real. CH, to me, is still the best of the cannibal movies.
11:00 if you want to know what the fallout truly is from a nuclear bomb, watch White Light/Black Rain that documents the Japanese bombings and their full aftermath on its citizens and land, and shows even current people still struggling with the effects (it released back in 2007)
Seriously being in Titicut Follies seems like a fate worse then death...And this is one of the reasons why insane people never get better. they are never treated the way they are supposed to be. and instead they are treated as if they are subhuman compared to the staff. It's honestly depressing thinking about it...
People from the comment sections are really on another level, like literally, they know everything after a minute or two and comment their thoughts on it. 😭😭
I watched The Cove once when I was researching animal cruelty, and I never wanna watch it again. They're one of my favorite animals and that made me cry
I am from massachusetts, born and raised. My father actually used to work at South Eastern Correctional Center in Bridgewater and is right near Bridgewater State Hospital. And I've NEVER heard of the documentary filmed there. I absolutely need to watch it. I guarantee that I will hear names that I once knew 😳
I had to buy both Titicut Follies and The War Game at the time of learning about them. Being in healthcare - in Massachusetts - seeing the former helps contextualize why certain guardianship and end of life regulations are in place for the protection of patients: regardless of family may feel that the incapacitated patient might want.
@ 10:00 The only people who violated those patient’s privacy & dignity was the staff & superintendent. Those poor people were failed miserably & repeatedly by the very people who were supposed to be taking care of them, along with the Massachusetts’ Supreme Court. I saw some short clips of the video a long time ago, & it was absolutely deplorable. No human being deserves what those people had to endure. They left some patients lying in their own feces & piss for long periods of time, others ran around the hospital naked, & partially clothed, tons of sa & grape being committed, filthy & disgusting living conditions, etc. Actually, to say it was deplorable would be a massive understatement.
The practice with the dolphins isn’t isolated to that town in Japan. The Faroe Islands is best known for what they call grindadráp, a type of drive hunting that involves herding various species of whales and dolphins, but primarily pilot whales, into shallow bays to be beached, killed, and butchered.
@@aliceDarts Japan (and I think China?) is well known for its killing of whales, sharks, and dolphins. If you’ve heard of whale wars, the whole thing is about annoying whalers into stopping their killing of whales. Shark find soup is considered a delicacy, similar to buffalo tongue. It offers no actual medical benefit, it’s just for the allure of killing an animal for a single body part. Japan also has been dumping radioactive waste into the waters near Korea, and its war crimes during WW2 is horrific. They’re supposedly the ones who found out that the human body is 70% water, a fact obtained through human torture. They’re quick to pretend it never happened, but sure like to talk about the atomic bombs dropped on them. Don’t think Japan is special tho. You can look up the remnants of MKUltra if you want more info on America’s crimes.
@@aliceDartslook up shark fin soup and whale wars. Also look into what Japan did to Korea during WW2 and the dumping of radioactive water into the ocean near Korea. The stuff you like aren’t made by the government. So you can still enjoy it, but it’s good to know what has been done.
@@BelBelle468 except arguably Hello Kitty (which is "cute propaganda" and trying to rehabilitate Japan's worldwide image after Unit 731's shit and the things they did with their exchanges with North Korea and all that shit-- Japan's kinda fucked about its Korean and Ainu minorities and pretending it's never done the war crimes it did and its massive problems with oligarchies starting with the westernization period in I think the meiji era?) Honestly it's kinda impressive how good of an image they have for the bullshit they did when Russia eats shit for the exact same shit.
Thank you for including the dolphin hunting! It would be incredible if you could talk about the whaling in the Faroe Islands too. They call it "tradition," but it's just torture and butchering. So few people know about all of this--platforms like yours are so powerful for bringing attention to them.
True. A friend of mine was working on a tourist boat that passed the Faroe coast while they were pulling dolphins onto the beach. Money, convenience and traditions turn us into monsters.
@@yootoobsuks4210 all of the whale/dolphin hunting is horrible. From what I've seen, Faroe Island hunts are especially tortuous for the animals- very drawn-out suffering. It's all terrible though.
I really believe these hard truths need to be documented. Life isn't easy. We need to shine a light in the dark, then maybe we can better ourselves. Gr8 show 🙏❤.
I'm surprised the 1995 documentary Executions wasn't on this list. I watched it when it first came out and it still haunts me nearly thirty years later.
I remember buying ‘Executions’ on VHS from my local WH Shith’s back when it came out. I remember it not to be all that shocking, but I can only recall one scene in it with any sort of vivid memory & that was the Middle Eastern guy being shot in the face & seeing him gasp for breath still with the huge gaping hole in his cheek & the way it moved about. The VHS is probably still in one of my many boxes in storage at my father’s house! I have been trying to get hold of a decent digital conversion of it though, but haven’t really been looking that hard (there must be a 720p+ upscale version online somewhere).
Cannibal Holocaust it's the father of found footage horror genre. If you're going to include it here then you should include Salo that got Pasolini killed, Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project, The Fourth Kind, Faces of Death and last but not least The Poughkeepsie Tapes. Maybe you can make an episode on the most disturbing and credible found footage films ❤
Agreed. Cannibal Holocaust isn't a documentary...it's a work of fiction. In spite of this, the director did genuinely put people in danger (the natives in the burning hut was real) and the animal killings were real.
@diafish yeah, absolutely! That's why I think it would be awesome for VV to make an episode on the most controversial and disturbing found footage films.
The difference being that this was a movie released under the guise of a documentary. It wasn't a found footage horror like the other ones you mentioned where you go into the movie knowing it's not real. They actively worked to fool the audience into believing it was real & did such a good job that nobody would believe otherwise.
I feel like Salo is too different of a movie here. That's more just shocking film like August Underground, Serbian Film, Angels Melencholy etc. There's a ton of obscene and just pretty disgusting films out there.
Bounce between listening to your videos and a few other UA-camrs videos while at work and you sir, are drastically underrated. Keep up the great work 🤙
@user-dk9dx3xb2t I don't understand why you would think like that. We are mammals. Which are a type of animal. We can even compare ourselfs biologically with other animals. We have brain, a heart, lungs etc. So biogically seen we are in fact animals. Every species of the planet is special in their own way. To say it's insulting to compare the so called "greatness of humanity" you talk of, is kind of arrogant. Especially when you think about how much harm humanity has caused in the past. Not only to the species itself but also to the world we live in.
To be honest, recently I was curious about the processes behind slaughtering animals and harvesting. Since I have begun to want to know what I am eating instead of just assuming that everything is done normally. So it's pretty good timing that this came up. I'll be watching that later. But I am pretty scared since that is considered the worst on the list. But I'd rather know so I'll watch it some way or another. Thanks, Visual Venture, once again! You never fail to shed light in your videos!
Green Inferno is one of my favourite movies. Seen it with my Mom when it came out, I was 25 or 26. It had to be inspired by Cannibal Holocast. Too many similarities.
They did the same thing in the states in the early 80s when The Day After was made. It stared Jason Robarts. It was a regular movie not a documentary. But people were suggested to sit with their families and watch it together. It was basically the same thing as The War Game.
I will never watch the Cove or anything that has animals being hurt in it. I’m glad people are bringing attention to such things, but I just can’t deal with it. I have watched Cannibal Holocaust, but it was with somebody who had seen it prior and told me when to close my eyes.
I had actually never heard of the documentary "mondo cane" before, but we have the expression "mundo cão" in portuguese, which is used to describe a harsh reality lived by someone. I wonder now if the expression actually originated from the italian documentary.
Very interesting. A couple years ago I was at a Half Price Books in Columbus Ohio browsing movies on DVD and came across "The Cove". I read the back of the case and put it back. I wasn't aware of any others mentioned here. Thank you.
I have to be honest, most of these documentaries are pretty tame. If you want some *TRUELY* disturbing documentaries, I suggest something like: - The Act Of Killing - Threads - Just, Melvin; Just, Evil - Dear Zachary: A Letter To His Son About His Father
okay not really related to the actual video content, but when i first saw the thumbnail image for the video, i misread 'illegal docs' as 'illegal dogs' and was _very_ confused for a hot minute
Watching Earthlings made me stop eating meat right then and there. I already knew everything the film covers but knowing and seeing are very different things, I've now been vegan for nearly a decade.
Ive been considering going vegetarian but honestly im conflicted because on one side, i know its completely cruel how animals are used on a day to day basis but on the other side, animal meat has proven many times that it is basically necessary to live a healthy and full nutritional diet, and also with the argument that other animals, like lions, eat and kill their prey in ruthless ways as well. Could you share an opinion as a vegan and how you felt on your diet before and after veganism?
@An_aria Of course! I won't preach that it's a superior diet, it can be quite tough to maintain and it's only because of modern advancements that it's really do-able. You do get basically everything you need from meat and that over abundance of nutrients is what grew mankind's brain size, however they do seem to be shrinking now and vegetable oils are a big part of that. Sticking to a diet of fresh veg rich in olive oil keeps me away from the processed stuff that I was eating for my whole life and I've had nothing but positives in that regard. In terms of nature, we live in buildings made of sand, wear clothes made of plastic and drive around in metal boxes, there's fuck all natural about our race and our place in the world so I'd try not to get too hung up on that! So if you do go full-in take the time to figure out what diet will work for you and expect some trial and error but also know that if you take even just one day a week without eating meat that makes a huge difference and should never be seen as lesser devotion! I hope this helps 😊
What I don't understand is why you don't just get cruelty free meat? It might be hard for me to understand because I used to live in the middle of nowhere where meat was ethically sourced from local farmers, rather than being mass produced by faceless conglomerates. Is it that hard to find?
@Twiddle_things correct me if im wrong but it can be hard to find a seller that is cruelty free and isnt lying, lots of companies can just put cruelty free on their products and it can be total bull and its legal which is crazy, and if a company does produce meat in a cruelty free way then its most likely going to cost more, and in this economy...
There is an absolutely disturbing scene in Earthlings, were a skinned fox lies on a pile of discarded fox bodies... and it's still alive and moving. That haunted me for weeks.
it showed the most gruesome parts of the life of very specific tribes, some theorized it was propaganda for the collapsing african colonialism. i think the documentary shouldnt have been banned but idk
@@henrycrystal9740 I mean it shouldn't be banned, but those are religious practices, i guess people forgot about how many people died over christianity lol they used to murder villages and then send missionaries to pray for them 😂.
@Hoodgetsactivetoo Christians didn't murder villages. That would acctually go against the Christian religion and pratices. I mean sure none Christians do horrible things and then blame religion. But those people wpuld have done the horrible things regardless. And one of the commandments says to not use the name God in Vain. But hey if you have proof of a new testament verse that promotes murdering villages please let me know.

Watched Titicut Follies years ago. What was truly horrible was seeing that some of the patients were most likely autistic or on the spectrum, yet treated like they were mentally challenged or deranged.
Aren't autistic people mentally challenged?
I actually knew one of the patients in that movie. He came to many of my family's holiday gatherings, as one of his caregivers was married to my aunt. He never talked about his time there, and no one asked. We just did our best to make him feel welcomed. He was not a criminal, but his behavior did run a risk of being misinterpreted.
@@sotpseamus explain, how would his actions be "misinterpreted" as a crime. What actions?
@@rossgadsby9663 he once forgot to pick up his paycheck at his minimum wage job, so they mailed it to him. This confused him, so he started saying bizarre things about who he would have to fight to get his money. This led to my father getting a phone call from the FBI, under suspicion that he might try to kill the president. He was not a violent man, but he often said bizarre things like that.
@@rossgadsby9663 he once made threatening statements over confusion surrounding his paycheck. The FBI called my father because they thought he said he was going to go after the President.
Cannibal Holocaust was a mockumentary style film like The Blair Witch Project not a documentary, the only crime that was committed was animal abuse
Yeah he literally said it wasn't a real documentary.
@FrenkTheJoy then it shouldn't be on the list, right?
The war game isn't a documentary either.
I came here to mention the animal abuse. Thanks for mentioning it.
That's enough 😡
There's one called Let There Be Light. It looks harmless enough but the US gov't suppressed it for decades. It was about soldiers with "combat neurosis" after WW 2. It's in the public domain now.
I forgot which of the Mondo Cane style films it was, but they sent a crew out in a helicopter to film some b-roll scenery and everything had been going fine and they came across a group rounding people up and were filming until they started getting shot at. It turned out they managed to film a massacre taking place and that was the only evidence since the region was trying to cover it up.
It’s Africa Addio and covered the Zanzibar massacre of 1964. Made by the same filmmakers.
@@davidscott2821 That's the one. After a point all that subgenre of film tends to blur together. Doesn't help they reuse footage either.
people are messed up in ways that i can't even begin to discribe

@gjh9299 Everyone likes to talk about America, but no one steps up. Just touch a boat once. I dare ya.
On The Cove, as it's stated on the documentary by Ric O'Barry himself he did not turned activist because a beloved dolphin passed away. That same beloved dolphin actually and consciously commited suicide. Which was something believed to be a "human only trait"
🙄
That’s so sad
uum, cmon dude. dolphins dying in captivity is sad enough we don't have to sensationalize it by making unfounded claims.
@@gibsonmunyi7225 ?? what unfounded claims? Did you saw "The Cove"? I just stated what's in the documentary itself told by Ric O'Barry himself...
Apart from that it's scientific common knowledge at this day and age that whales and dolphins have human like inteligence, comunication and intricate social behaviours so his statement isn't farfetched at all.
Cats also do.
I can definitely see why a documentary that’s just autopsy footage with no context would be problematic. Rather than helping people come to terms with their mortality, you could very easily make their fears even worse. That’s an active disservice to the general public. Now, if you actually explain things and give context to this kind of footage, then you can actually help people come to terms with it instead of just scaring them
Autopsy footage without explanation of guidance or any dialogue or guidance whatsoever is bizarre and terrifying
Me and my 11yr old heard that Dr's watch operations on UA-cam.... so we thought we'd see if we could find one. Video starts with simple diagnosis, patient information and the procedure... a trans femerol amputation. All is looking good so far... next clip is a leg 3/4 removed. It was so jarring, neither of us knew what to say. We both agreed, if the op had started from first incision, it would be interesting and informative.. but cutting straight to a grey limb being cut with a saw...it was too shocking. I agree 100% with what you're saying x
Not really. I came to terms with death watching Faces of Death in hs!
@@theredqueen6911 Nah but that's gore with added context of daily life. The autopsy one just has doctors removing organs and shit. If you didn't know any better, you'd say they were preparing dinner.
@@theredqueen6911 faces of death is mostly fake, and you know exactly what you're getting into when you decide to watch it. It's not the same
26:15 "cannibal Holocaust 🚬 I haven't heard that name in years"
Haven't heard it since the heian era
“You shouldn’t be smoking in class Mr. James”
I remember a shockumentary series back in the eighties called, “Faces of Death.”
They also had another similar as faces but called traces of death (filmed years after faces). I used to rent both these series movies when I was a kid on VHS from my local video store rental.
I was young and these were very intense movies that held my curiosity but always made me want to look away from some of the gore.
Faces was also faked, just like Mondo Cane. Those are not documentaries. They fake the footage and claim it's real. It's an entire genre known as "Mondo Films" now.
Yesss! I was just trying to think of the name of it. Lol. Thank you.
@@littleredwritinghead3781no.
Proven fakes
The War Game reminds me of Threads, a drama BBC aired in the early 1980s that's based on a similar premise of a nuclear attack on Britain and follows the aftermath as the public turns to looting, the government collapses, and people struggle to survive in the following decades. It's also a difficult watch as it's incredibly bleak and grim, but I still find myself recommending it often, it's essential viewing.
Threads is one of the most bleak film watching experiences I've ever had.
Was also going to mention Threads in relation to War Games. I was a kid living in the UK when I first saw it. There was no real hype around it and no real explanation that it was fictional until the end. Bleak is not the word.
If you enjoyed "The War Game" then watch "It Happened Here" (Dir: Brownlow), a low-budget film drama on the aftermath of a German invasion of UK. And as 1 of the protagonists said in the film, "the trouble with fascism is you have to use fascist methods to get rid of it". Disturbingly convincing with some great actors, mainly unpaid , many non-professional
Yeah I was thinking of that too
Long before 1980 a BBC play ended with a middle aged couple startled by the ringing of the telephone.
The radio had been silent for a while, but this gave them hope to look out once more at the devastation around them.
They were going to rejoin the civilization they belonged to.
Till they were machine gunner. "It always gets them", said the corporal working the telephone wires.
Getting arrested for your special effects is next level. I wish I was that good
No, people are just stupid.
Honestly, though. The War Games is absolutely terrifying. Like, it's not just the graphic content. It's how matter of fact it's presented. There's this one part where we're seeing the effect of the initial blast depending on how far away someone is and they cut to a crying child and the narrator just flatly says "At this rage, staring into the blast causes the retina to blister" and it's, oh great. Little kid just got eyes burned out and we just move onto something else. It's filmed and Narrated how you'd expect a nature doc to be made and it's such a weirdly chilling contract to the horror that's being displayed on screen.
One documentary that I found disturbing was heartbeat in the brain. It wasn't disturbing because of the gore but because this lady had the balls to perform the brain surgery on herself. Although the full movie has never been shown to a wider audience a partial film of it can be seen on youtube.
I watched some videos on that. I tried to find more on it. Can you please give me the link?
@@cherrymoon9961Was the lady successful?
@@daniellewillis2767 She's still alive so I guess, she seems really loopy though looking through her Wiki page (not that someone who does brain surgery on herself for no reason would be sane...)
@@daniellewillis2767if i remember correctly she went to a party after.
One that isn't on the list and is extremely gore! Orozco the embalmer
the documentary about the mental "health" institution really went through "you can film it, but since you'll make us look bad we just need some yearsto fix all the shit we do and then you can"
I’ve just watched Mondo Cane and, having done my share of travelling, all I can say is there’s no society or culture that isn’t bizarre and alien, yet we’re all more similar than we’d ever care to admit. The film does a great job at shining a light on this.
Watched Cannibal Holocaust before. Knowing it was fake made it watchable, but it was still amazing to see how convincing it looked as a film of that era. Great work on covering all these documentaries!
It was wild to learn that I worked at the hospital where Stan Brakhage filmed one of his documentaries. Now I want to track it down sometime.
The animal murder scenes are 100% real though.
The animal cruelty was actually real btw.
@@Yoshirama And one of the crew died. Think it was a stunt man.
Imagine making a movie so realistic that you have to call in the actors just to prove you didn't kill them.
I totally wasn’t paying attention. But I thought it was real, and watched it letting curiosity get the best of me. Hella embarrassing to find out in the comments.
My mum had to do a rotation in a mental hospital during the 70's in Australia. She said it was a horrific place people sitting in their own filth, piss, vomit, come, blood and excrement, people tied to beds, naked people, people sleeping in the corridors on the floor as they were jamed in like sardines, forced to have horrific treatments like electro shock, and that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Work in mental health facilities from 1980.. NEVER saw anything even vaguely like this .
@kaytaylor1855 maybe they'd made some changes by then or you were in a higher funded hospital. It scared my mum enough that when I needed to go into a facility in the late 90's as a child and could only get a bed in an adult facility she wouldn't let me (with major help from dr's, hospital, medications, councillors and physiatrists) who all agreed it was way better to not put me in an adult facility as I would be exposed to way worse things
I remember watching The Cove in my 12th grade English class. It was horrifying but also a really well made documentary. We watched it along with The Bear Man documentary. What a year for scarring docs lol
I also watched it as a teenager, it definitely stuck with me. What a letdown that after all these years and the danger the filmmakers put themselves in, the slaughter is still happening.
I watched The Cove in my junior year of high school, Film class. It really did a number to us. A well made documentary that got its message across.
Why the hell were you watching that in ENGLISH class?
I remember seeing an autopsy in one of my classes. Teacher told us to leave if we couldn’t handle it. Some left most didn’t and when she played the video some others left. I stayed and tbh it does make you feel sick watching.
19:50 If it was a totally normal and accepted part of their culture why did they go to such great lengths to hide it.....
I was gonna say, Cannibal Holocaust was a pioneering found footage horror film, not a documentary. I knew he’d been arrested for killing the actors and why he made the film. And I spend too much time watching Shudder. 😂
Yeh it was all fake. Not a documentary at all
also the reason why the cannibal tribe kills the documentary crew in the movie is because the documentary crew was committing atrocities like setting buildings with people on fire and assaulting tribeswomen to make the tribe look more dangerous and fabricating stuff for their doc. and the professor who got back the footage brings up the idea of who really were the "uncivilized" ones. It makes an interesting point, but, they still actually endangered people by setting stuff on fire and abused animals while filming the movie, so it kinda still was what it criticized.
I was JUST about to start typing, but said "let me see where he goes with this" and started scrolling the comments instead. 😅
@silvsevie plus they killed a real turtle in one of the scenes
Yes. So? All the animals killed in the movie were actually killed on camera. Why is the turtle special?
Wiseman's film is the reason I refused to go to a mental hospital when I got severely depressed after an assault, I eventually got forced to go. When I refused to take medication they wouldn't tell me what it was for I got strapped to a bed for being for being out of control.
then don't be depressed

I would call The War Game more of a mockumentary just because none of those scenes happened, just depictions of a "what if"
Back in the 80s, there was a video going around called Faces of Death. It showed people dying in gruesome ways. I was in my early teens. I thought it was crazy.
I love Faces of Death it shows death in all it's stark reality. Should not be banned, anatomy is important.
Faces of Death, some of the scenes were faked. But a lot was real.
I absolutely thought that movie would be on this list... I wonder if it sort of lost its shock value in the era of Live Leaks, etc., that younger folks are not even aware it once existed.
I saw it at around 12 yrs old & had never thought such things..
Shocking Asia was crazy as well
The Government : we can't let the people know that we're incompetent in moment of crisis!

Thank God you finally said Cannibal Holocaust was not a documentary. I was ready to write a paragraph.
I felt the same about the asylum one. Dude said mental illness made them not know right from wrong and for a second, I really thought he was going to argue in favor of how the hospital staff treated the patients 😭😭
Same - I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt so scrolled through the comments as I still listened. Glad he knew. Granted, the animal scenes are real.
CH, to me, is still the best of the cannibal movies.
Haha same
11:00 if you want to know what the fallout truly is from a nuclear bomb, watch White Light/Black Rain that documents the Japanese bombings and their full aftermath on its citizens and land, and shows even current people still struggling with the effects (it released back in 2007)
Seriously being in Titicut Follies seems like a fate worse then death...And this is one of the reasons why insane people never get better. they are never treated the way they are supposed to be. and instead they are treated as if they are subhuman compared to the staff. It's honestly depressing thinking about it...
People from the comment sections are really on another level, like literally, they know everything after a minute or two and comment their thoughts on it. 😭😭
They just want to BE the first

It's a new UA-cam feature that pairs what you are watching with the top comment that happened when they were watching the video before you did.
The second story is honestly just sad. The fact that AFTER filming, they realized that it would reveal the truth, says so much about the government.
This is why Vegeta isn't the fan of the government... How power hungry and egotistical they become over something...
I watched The Cove once when I was researching animal cruelty, and I never wanna watch it again. They're one of my favorite animals and that made me cry

Thank you for including Earthlings!
I watched that probably 10 years ago and some segments still haunt me at night
I went to film school at the University of Colorado at Boulder where Stan taught, and we were shown this and other of his films in classes.
I had to buy both Titicut Follies and The War Game at the time of learning about them. Being in healthcare - in Massachusetts - seeing the former helps contextualize why certain guardianship and end of life regulations are in place for the protection of patients: regardless of family may feel that the incapacitated patient might want.
@ 10:00 The only people who violated those patient’s privacy & dignity was the staff & superintendent. Those poor people were failed miserably & repeatedly by the very people who were supposed to be taking care of them, along with the Massachusetts’ Supreme Court. I saw some short clips of the video a long time ago, & it was absolutely deplorable. No human being deserves what those people had to endure. They left some patients lying in their own feces & piss for long periods of time, others ran around the hospital naked, & partially clothed, tons of sa & grape being committed, filthy & disgusting living conditions, etc. Actually, to say it was deplorable would be a massive understatement.
Europa the last battle is so banned it’s not even on the most banned documentary list 😂
The practice with the dolphins isn’t isolated to that town in Japan. The Faroe Islands is best known for what they call grindadráp, a type of drive hunting that involves herding various species of whales and dolphins, but primarily pilot whales, into shallow bays to be beached, killed, and butchered.
Oh shit... I love their language, and songs, but I had no idea that this happens. Yikes.
@@aliceDarts Japan (and I think China?) is well known for its killing of whales, sharks, and dolphins. If you’ve heard of whale wars, the whole thing is about annoying whalers into stopping their killing of whales. Shark find soup is considered a delicacy, similar to buffalo tongue. It offers no actual medical benefit, it’s just for the allure of killing an animal for a single body part.
Japan also has been dumping radioactive waste into the waters near Korea, and its war crimes during WW2 is horrific. They’re supposedly the ones who found out that the human body is 70% water, a fact obtained through human torture. They’re quick to pretend it never happened, but sure like to talk about the atomic bombs dropped on them.
Don’t think Japan is special tho. You can look up the remnants of MKUltra if you want more info on America’s crimes.
@@aliceDartslook up shark fin soup and whale wars. Also look into what Japan did to Korea during WW2 and the dumping of radioactive water into the ocean near Korea.

@@BelBelle468 except arguably Hello Kitty (which is "cute propaganda" and trying to rehabilitate Japan's worldwide image after Unit 731's shit and the things they did with their exchanges with North Korea and all that shit-- Japan's kinda fucked about its Korean and Ainu minorities and pretending it's never done the war crimes it did and its massive problems with oligarchies starting with the westernization period in I think the meiji era?)

So few people know about all of this--platforms like yours are so powerful for bringing attention to them.

True. A friend of mine was working on a tourist boat that passed the Faroe coast while they were pulling dolphins onto the beach.

I'm surprised the 1995 documentary Executions wasn't on this list. I watched it when it first came out and it still haunts me nearly thirty years later.
I remember buying ‘Executions’ on VHS from my local WH Shith’s back when it came out. I remember it not to be all that shocking, but I can only recall one scene in it with any sort of vivid memory & that was the Middle Eastern guy being shot in the face & seeing him gasp for breath still with the huge gaping hole in his cheek & the way it moved about. The VHS is probably still in one of my many boxes in storage at my father’s house! I have been trying to get hold of a decent digital conversion of it though, but haven’t really been looking that hard (there must be a 720p+ upscale version online somewhere).
Intresting how atrocities are never committed by those committing them, but by those acknowledging them.
Cannibal Holocaust it's the father of found footage horror genre. If you're going to include it here then you should include Salo that got Pasolini killed, Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project, The Fourth Kind, Faces of Death and last but not least The Poughkeepsie Tapes. Maybe you can make an episode on the most disturbing and credible found footage films ❤
Agreed. Cannibal Holocaust isn't a documentary...it's a work of fiction. In spite of this, the director did genuinely put people in danger (the natives in the burning hut was real) and the animal killings were real.
@diafish yeah, absolutely! That's why I think it would be awesome for VV to make an episode on the most controversial and disturbing found footage films.
The difference being that this was a movie released under the guise of a documentary. It wasn't a found footage horror like the other ones you mentioned where you go into the movie knowing it's not real. They actively worked to fool the audience into believing it was real & did such a good job that nobody would believe otherwise.
@@smokeybowls187 That's a good point!
I feel like Salo is too different of a movie here. That's more just shocking film like August Underground, Serbian Film, Angels Melencholy etc. There's a ton of obscene and just pretty disgusting films out there.

@user-dk9dx3xb2t We are, quite literally, Animals, you must be mentally deficient.
@user-dk9dx3xb2t I don't understand why you would think like that. We are mammals. Which are a type of animal. We can even compare ourselfs biologically with other animals. We have brain, a heart, lungs etc. So biogically seen we are in fact animals.
Every species of the planet is special in their own way. To say it's insulting to compare the so called "greatness of humanity" you talk of, is kind of arrogant. Especially when you think about how much harm humanity has caused in the past. Not only to the species itself but also to the world we live in.

To be honest, recently I was curious about the processes behind slaughtering animals and harvesting.

They did the same thing in the states in the early 80s when The Day After was made. It stared Jason Robarts. It was a regular movie not a documentary. But people were suggested to sit with their families and watch it together. It was basically the same thing as The War Game.
I will never watch the Cove or anything that has animals being hurt in it. I’m glad people are bringing attention to such things, but I just can’t deal with it.
I have watched Cannibal Holocaust, but it was with somebody who had seen it prior and told me when to close my eyes.
I hope they have stopped a lot of people from funding animal ab*se.
I can't imagine that these docs don't take a toll to make.
I had actually never heard of the documentary "mondo cane" before, but we have the expression "mundo cão" in portuguese, which is used to describe a harsh reality lived by someone. I wonder now if the expression actually originated from the italian documentary.

Very interesting. A couple years ago I was at a Half Price Books in Columbus Ohio browsing movies on DVD and came across "The Cove". I read the back of the case and put it back. I wasn't aware of any others mentioned here. Thank you.
The war game is not a documentary...it's a drama documentary. Not strictly a documentary.
Never seen The War Game but we got Threads in the 80's. Which was horrific and genuinely disturbing.
I have to be honest, most of these documentaries are pretty tame.

- The Act Of Killing
- Threads
- Just, Melvin; Just, Evil
- Dear Zachary: A Letter To His Son About His Father

Watching Earthlings made me stop eating meat right then and there. I already knew everything the film covers but knowing and seeing are very different things, I've now been vegan for nearly a decade.
Ive been considering going vegetarian but honestly im conflicted because on one side, i know its completely cruel how animals are used on a day to day basis but on the other side, animal meat has proven many times that it is basically necessary to live a healthy and full nutritional diet, and also with the argument that other animals, like lions, eat and kill their prey in ruthless ways as well. Could you share an opinion as a vegan and how you felt on your diet before and after veganism?
@An_aria Of course! I won't preach that it's a superior diet, it can be quite tough to maintain and it's only because of modern advancements that it's really do-able. You do get basically everything you need from meat and that over abundance of nutrients is what grew mankind's brain size, however they do seem to be shrinking now and vegetable oils are a big part of that. Sticking to a diet of fresh veg rich in olive oil keeps me away from the processed stuff that I was eating for my whole life and I've had nothing but positives in that regard. In terms of nature, we live in buildings made of sand, wear clothes made of plastic and drive around in metal boxes, there's fuck all natural about our race and our place in the world so I'd try not to get too hung up on that!
So if you do go full-in take the time to figure out what diet will work for you and expect some trial and error but also know that if you take even just one day a week without eating meat that makes a huge difference and should never be seen as lesser devotion! I hope this helps 😊
What I don't understand is why you don't just get cruelty free meat? It might be hard for me to understand because I used to live in the middle of nowhere where meat was ethically sourced from local farmers, rather than being mass produced by faceless conglomerates. Is it that hard to find?
@Twiddle_things correct me if im wrong but it can be hard to find a seller that is cruelty free and isnt lying, lots of companies can just put cruelty free on their products and it can be total bull and its legal which is crazy, and if a company does produce meat in a cruelty free way then its most likely going to cost more, and in this economy...
There is an absolutely disturbing scene in Earthlings, were a skinned fox lies on a pile of discarded fox bodies... and it's still alive and moving. That haunted me for weeks.
Mondo Cane prove one thing and ONE THING ONLY

it showed the most gruesome parts of the life of very specific tribes, some theorized it was propaganda for the collapsing african colonialism. i think the documentary shouldnt have been banned but idk
@henrycrystal9740 agree with the propaganda Idea because that's what American always do
Shows counties at Evil and villains while they are " good guy"
@@henrycrystal9740 I mean it shouldn't be banned, but those are religious practices, i guess people forgot about how many people died over christianity lol they used to murder villages and then send missionaries to pray for them 😂.
@Hoodgetsactivetoo Christians didn't murder villages. That would acctually go against the Christian religion and pratices. I mean sure none Christians do horrible things and then blame religion. But those people wpuld have done the horrible things regardless. And one of the commandments says to not use the name God in Vain.
But hey if you have proof of a new testament verse that promotes murdering villages please let me know.
Man this video is awesome. You gathered some nice documentaries with really insane stories.
