City of Life and Death
Directed by Lu Chuan
Produced by Media Asia Films, Stellar Megamedia
A harrowing, unflinching chronicle of the Nanking Massacre that confronts the systematic dehumanization and atrocity of war through intimate human suffering.
In 1937, during the height of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Imperial Japanese Army has just captured Nanjing, then-capital of the Republic of China. What followed was known as the Nanking Massacre, or the Rape of Nanking, a six week period wherein tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed.
