More Details

Summary:

At the end of 1937: Shanghai, the largest city in China, continued to hold out against the invading Japanese army who had expected the city to fall within 8 days. In their sight, the next target: Nanking, the capital. This documentary follows the chronology of events. What triggered such a prolonged outburst of unbridled violence on the civilian population, on prisoners? The testimonies of the last surviving Japanese veterans, set against the memories of surviving Chinese witnesses, offer the most credible explanation.
