## Resource

Shortly after the launch of YouTube in 2005, a mysterious and unsettling video was uploaded to the site. It featured a man eating soup in what appeared to be a form of torture carried out by people in masks. The video became a series that sparked a lot of controversy. In this episode Rasha and Yvette are joined by Brit Prawat to ask, was Blank Room Soup a hoax or the precursor to something very real and very sinister?
