In 1998 Tomoaki Hamatsu became one of the world’s first reality-TV stars when he lived for 15 months trapped inside a small room, naked, starving and alone, completely unaware that his life was being broadcast on national TV to over 17 million viewers. A thoughtful, fascinating documentary asking questions about the fundamental cruelty of this kind of fame as entertainment.
