War Crimes Under the Rising Sun

In the 1930s, without warning, Imperial Japan attacked China and the rest of Asia with a rampage of destruction and atrocities, the effects of which linger today. Only a few years later in the 1940s, Japan launched the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor, which propelled a reluctant United States into World War II.

Japanese war crimes are an issue that still plague Asian relationships as seen in diplomatic rows like the Diaoyu/Senkaku Island dispute between Japan and China.

This provocative documentary reveals the vile degradation of humanity under Imperial Japan’s military with rare footage and stories most audiences have never seen.
