As for the movie, I don't know what to say about it. On one hand, it's pretty fucked up to think this stuff went on. On the other, it's one of the most grotesque movies I've ever seen.

which concentrated on the more bizzare aspects of human activity. Tho Goodbye Uncle Tom is a "pseudo documentary", the producers have stated in courts that their research is accurate - tho sure, the object is to shock and although these incidents did happen, they are prob encapsulated for total impact.
