Fictionalized treatment of the horrific Rape of Nanking, China's capitol city, in 1937 by the invading Japanese. Although this was intended as propaganda the film actually soft-peddles the range of atrocities committed in fact as documented in Iris Chang's book. But enough was included to cause the same head-shaking bewilderment at the behavior on display here that the Nazi phenomenon evokes.
How could an obviously civilized nation carry out such acts? What hope does this leave us for the future of mankind? Stay tuned.
