A matter-of-fact documentary of the massacre of over 300,000 Chinese civilians by the Japanese in the so-called ‘Rape of Nanjing’ in 1937. In the name of the Japanese emperor Hirohito, the desperate soldiers, enraged by intense Chinese resistance, stormed the then capitol of China and over a six week period systematically raped, tortured, and killed many of the inhabitants of that city. This is a matter-of-fact although polemical documentary, with many of the horrifyingly intense images taken from home movies made by an American missionary who was there. |
