More Details

Summary:

This powerful documentary includes interviews with 14 extraordinary veterans of Japan's War against China in the 1930s and '40s. These men, now in their 70s and 80s, tell the truth of the atrocities they committed as young soldiers and of the excruciating memories that they've had to live with so vividly for the rest of their lives. These men have inadvertently become activists as they continue to share their experiences with the greater public in Japan and the world.
