Depicts the lives of four of the most infamous 'cannibal killers' of recent times: Jeffrey Dahmer, Arthur Shawcross, Andrei Chikatilo and Issei Sagawa who never stood trial for the murder he committed due to mental instability. At the height of the Age of Discovery, during the 16th century, South Seas adventurers were particularly fascinated. Their reports were filled with detailed accounts of meetings with cannibal tribes, who came to stand for everything opposite to the West and in need of containment. Around the same time, in 1595, philosopher Michel de Montaigne famously inverted these hierarchies in "Des Cannibales," and accused the "civilized" West of being in fact far more barbarous than these "primitive" peoples.
