Enslaved by the cult

RTD uncovers the disturbing truth behind East Java’s traditional dance known as Reog Ponorogo. The main organiser of this colourful spectacle is a revered shaman-like figure believed to possess spiritual powers, called the Warok. But his abilities can be lost forever should the Warok become involved with a woman. To keep his supernatural powers safe, Waroks hire young boys who follow their masters’ every order, including providing sexual favours.
