As practitioners of this very problematic profession came to be, quite literally, a separate tribe or race of people. They became an extraordinary being, so profane that the executioner could not come into contact with other people or objects without profoundly altering them. In other words, he's something kind of magical and at the same time and untouchable.
Pain is at the root of most drama and entertainment. When does it get too real? This very disturbing and graphic show looks into some case studies and asks some deep questions. WARNING Very intense subject matter.
