A group of documentary filmmakers head out to the South American jungle in seach of real-life cannibals. When they fail to send messages home their colleagues begin to worry and, six months later, send out a second expedition to look for them. However, after travelling deep into the jungle, the only evidence the second team manage to find of the first is their cans of exposed film footage, footage which shows them to have been successful in their search, far too successful in fact. 'Cannibal Holocaust' was banned in the UK in 1982 and only received a certificate at the start of the new millennium.
