Additionally, other story elements were also influenced by the Mondo documentaries of Gualtiero Jacopetti, particularly the presentation of the documentary crew's lost footage, which constitutes approximately half of the film. Deodato believed the news reports to be staged, an idea which became an integral aspect of the film's story. Produced as part of the contemporary cannibal trend of Italian exploitation cinema, Cannibal Holocaust was inspired by Italian media coverage of Red Brigades terrorism. Upon viewing the reels, Monroe is appalled by the team's actions and objects to the station's intent to air the documentary. When the rescue team is only able to recover the crew's lost cans of film, an American television station wishes to broadcast the footage as a sensationalized television special. Played by Carl Gabriel Yorke, Francesca Ciardi, Perry Pirkkanen, and Luca Barbareschi, the crew had gone missing while filming a documentary on local cannibal tribes. It stars Robert Kerman as Harold Monroe, an anthropologist from New York University who leads a rescue team into the Amazon rainforest to locate a crew of filmmakers.
