Скачать или смотреть 'Dead to Rights' film details horrors of Nanjing Massacre

After collecting over a billion dollars at the box office in China, the movie Death To Rights premiered in the United States in August.

Michael Berry, director of the Center for Chinese Studies a UCLA, says there is a long history of films in China depicting the Nanjing Massacre.

"Photography has been employed as the most powerful weapon or tool to prove what really happened. Now, we ask, why do you have to prove what really happened? That has to do with a long history of denialism on the part of the Japanese government or ... highly influential public figures in Japan," Berry said.

For many in the American audience of the film's premiere, it was the first time they learned about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army during the invasion of China in 1937.

"I hope this film does not propagate hatred, but encourages viewers to focus on the present,  to hope for peace, to cherish current life, to remember history, and to value peace, strengthening ourselves in the process," said Shen Ao, the movie's director.
