Cannibalism, or the devouring of human flesh, represents one of the few moral
infractions common to most cultures in the world - a strong enough infraction
that most homo sapiens consider it not simply repugnant but unthinkable. But in
certain situations, both under duress and out of desperation, individuals have
found themselves driven to this ghastly act. The History Chennel documentary
Cannibalism: Extreme Survival investigates several of these instances - a case
in which four British sailors became stranded at sea after their yacht
capsized, a nightmarish instance of cannibalism that erupted on the Sarah
Island penal colony in 1820s Tasmania, and finally, the grisly fate that befell
some Japanese military men in New Guinea during World War II. In recounting
these stories, the program draws on rare archival footage and incisive
historical commentary.

Subject: [Videolib] Is this available? Forbidden Rites: Cannibalism
A professor has an old off-air videorecording of an episode from a three-part
1999 National Geographic television series. She would like us to get a new copy
on VHS or DVD. Cannibalism is one episode of the Forbidden Rites series. (The
other 2 episodes were Head Hunting and Human Sacrifice.)
Although the title is listed in the Internet Movie Database, I can't find
that it was ever released as a videotape or DVD that was available for
purchase. It's not in any library's listings in WorldCat.
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
