City of Life and Death (Nanjing Nanjing)
Wonderful World

A majestic production filmed in stunning black and white, City Of Life And Death sheds a powerful light on the Rape Of Nanking, often described as the forgotten Holocaust of World War Two. Set during the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, it offers an eyewitness account of the brutality of war and the human instinct for survival. True events are dramatised through the stories of key individuals from a kind-hearted Japanese officer to the courageous leader of Chinese guerrilla fighters, a Japanese “comfort woman” and the Schindler-like figure who saved many civilians. Epic filmmaking with an arresting human heart.
