Enslaved by the Cult: Exploitation of young boys in Java’s ancient tradition

RTD investigates the dark secret behind East Java’s traditional dance known as Reog Ponorogo. The main organiser behind the colourful show is the Warok, a revered figure believed to have spiritual powers. But should the Warok become involved with a woman, he can lose his abilities forever. To preserve their powers, Waroks employ young boys who learn to keep house, dance and anything else that's demanded of them, including providing sexual favours.
