Скачать или смотреть Chinese filmmaker sheds light on untold World War II tragedy

It's one of the lesser-known tragedies from World War II: In 1942, the Japanese freighter, the Lisbon Maru, was transporting more than 1,800 British POWs from Hong Kong to Japan when it was torpedoed by a U.S. submarine.

The ship sank in the East China Sea off the coast of Zhejiang Province. Only 700 POWs survived, many saved by local Chinese fishermen. Marine technologist and filmmaker Fang Li spent eight years filling in this gap in history, culminating in his documentary, "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru."
