The Contestant – Preview

We all take reality TV for granted these days. There are dozens of programmes dedicated to the genre, so much so that it feels like an overload at times. But, where did it start? A strong contender for that honour is the subject of a new film. The brand new trailer for their critically acclaimed new documentary The Contestant will be previewed in cinemas from 27th November before hitting cinemas nationwide on 29th November.

The film is 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. Before Big Brother, before The Truman Show, there was the shocking story of Nasubi.
