About The Cannibal That Walked Free
The Cannibal that Walked Free (also known as Cannibal Superstar ) is a British documentary produced by Visual Voodoo for Channel Five which explores - through direct access - the bizarre psychology and twisted celebrity fame that surrounds Japanese cannibal Issei Sagawa.
Directed by Toby Dye, The Cannibal That Walked Free leans on a strong ensemble — Issei Sagawa, Olivier Foll, Jacques Poinas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2007.
