The BIZARRE FESTIVALS Channel features shocking and surreal rites and rituals of cultures from around the globe. They include customs you may have heard about but just can't believe are true--like people stabbing themselves with knives, being crucified, or flogging themselves in a public display of penance. The visuals are startling in their clarity.
