Nanking

"Nanking" is a powerful and emotional retelling of one of history's darkest moments. In 1937, the Japanese army invaded China's capital city, Nanking, and committed unspeakable atrocities, including the murder of over 300,000 civilians and the rape of tens of thousands. Amidst this horror, a small group of unarmed Westerners risked their lives to save 250,000 Chinese civilians. Through letters, diaries, and survivor testimonies, the film sheds light on the bravery and compassion of these individuals, and the impact they had on the course of history. With a cast of accomplished actors, "Nanking" is a must-see for anyone interested in history, human rights, and the power of the human spirit.
