The incredible true story of a man who lived for 15 months trapped inside a small room, naked, starving and alone... and completely unaware that his life was being broadcast on national TV in Japan, to over 15 million viewers a week.

1. Documentary that feels like it could *legitimately* be a black mirror episode
2. I read the Wikipedia about this years ago so this was wild to watch as a doc
If you like docs and are OK with subtitles (mainly in Japanese), watch this. Go in blind and just check it out!

Disgusting that the man that did this doesn’t appear remorseful at all. So sad. Very cool how Nasubi used the trauma from what happened to him to help other people.
