[[TropeMaker This subgenre begun]] with Paolo Cavara's, Gualtiero Jacopetti's, and Franco Prosperi's ''Mondo Cane'', [[TropeNamer from which the subgenre takes it name]] and of which subsequent films utilized the word to identify themselves as of being in the subgenre. With the English translation of the film's title being ''A Dog's World'', the film was predominantly an exploration of unusual cultural practices in Africa and Asia, such as a canibal tribe in Africa with ritualistic boar clubbing and a practicing South Pacific cargo cult. Europe and America had their share of weird behaviour represented, too, such as inbred Italians and a restaurant in New York where posh patrions dine on insects. For a time subsequent Mondo films would adhere to this premise. In the 80s the films dropped unusual cultural practices as subject-matter and begun to focus exclusively on gruesome ways in which people and animals can die, with such films sometimes regarded as being in a sub-subgenre called "Death Films". Another offshoot common in TheSixties was to documentaries about strippers and other excuses for women to be topless.
