Naked and Cruel

This documentary covers a range of unusual topics, including the sacred city of Benares, India, where the elderly go to die and be cremated. It also features an American tourist in Hong Kong who encounters a 'baby-prostitute' and provides glimpses into various sexual behaviors among animals. Further segments explore cultural rituals, such as the celebration of a penis-shaped totem in Japan and the lifestyles of an African tribe known for their exaggerated male anatomy.

In addition to these cultural insights, Naked and Cruel dives into the more shocking elements of society. It showcases massage parlors in Thailand, hunting safaris in Africa, and the extremes of Las Vegas nightlife. The film includes depictions of life and death, such as a ranger being eaten by an alligator and a missionary priest meeting a grim fate at the hands of indigenous people. This documentary is not for the faint of heart and offers a stark look at the more grotesque corners of the human experience.
