This feature documentary by director Bob Bentley explores the Japanese art of rope bondage and the people who practice it, sometimes obsessively. Kinbaku, also called Shibari, has origins in the medieval world. Almost forgotten, it has since been rediscovered in modern times, growing from a niche practice
on the BDSM scene into a popular passion for many men, women and couples in Japan and throughout the West.
