Which country made the film Nanjing?

The film Nanjing was directed by Bill in 2007. Hello, Dan? Co-directed by Steegman and starring Hugo? Armstrong, Rosalind Chao, Stephen? Dolph and others, the production area of this film is the United States. This is a historical documentary, which mainly tells the story of the Japanese invasion of Nanking at the end of 1937 and the wanton slaughter of unarmed people in China. In this war, 200,000 people were killed and tens of thousands of women were raped and humiliated. Some western missionaries, businessmen and doctors with a sense of justice set up the International Committee of Nanjing Safe Zone with limited strength to protect China refugees.

Leonsis, the producer of this film, put forward the idea of making the documentary Nanjing in 2004. During Christmas 2004. When he was on holiday in the Bahamas, he saw the obituary of Zhang Chunru, a Chinese-American writer and author of the Nanjing Massacre, in the newspaper. At that time, he read the newspaper and threw it into the trash can, but a corner of the newspaper leaked out. The innocent eyes of the female writer on it kept staring at him, as if telling him something. So when Leonsis wanted to go home, he put the newspaper in his luggage and took it home.

After returning to new york, he found Zhang Chunru's Nanjing Massacre and other related books written by westerners. After reading this history, he was ashamed that he knew nothing about it, and felt that most Americans didn't understand this tragic history, so he decided to show it to the audience through his own efforts. This is the background of the movie Nanjing.

The film Nanjing restores the true face of the Nanjing Massacre through a large number of real historical pictures and documents, some letters and diaries left by westerners, and very shocking historical fragments, testimonies and interviews. This film tells a tragic catastrophe that happened in China 70 years ago from the perspective of westerners, and it has the power to truly restore history.

The true reappearance of the Nanjing Massacre is a very strange history for the ordinary audience in the West, because the Japanese have been trying to cover up this evil history, trying to cover up the great mistakes they made and the painful harm they caused to China. The film "Nanjing" is very objective, showing the painful history of the Nanjing Massacre without too much whitewashing, so the emotional power contained in it reproduces and restores that bloody history and hurts the hearts of many viewers.
