A heartbreaking documentary to watch that chronicles the 'Rape of Nanking' in December 1937 and the systematic slaughter of some 200,000 Chinese civilians and soliders at the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army. The film uses eye-witnesses to the slaughter, played by actors, to recount the work of a small group of 8 foreigners who set up a 'safe zone' within the city and did their best to save lives. A difficult film to endure but one everyone should see; anyone of Japanese descent in particular.
My rating 9 out of 10.
