Shocking Asia is a 1974 mondo film documentary film directed by Rolf Olsen and written by Olsen with Ingeborg Stein Steinbach.
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.
C. Spencer Yeh's "Shocking Asia" is a sequel which was on view at Empty Gallery, Hong Kong, in February 2018.
