Summary

This award-winning film recounts the 1937 Nanking Massacre committed by the Japanese army in the former capital city of China. In the winter of 1937, the Japanese army occupied Nanking, where they killed more 200,000 people and raped tens of thousands of Chinese women. In order to protect Chinese civilians, a small group of European and American expatriates, including Western missionaries, professors, and businessmen, banded together, risking their own lives to form the Nanking Safety Zone and ultimately saving 250,000 Chinese individuals
