Nanking: tells the story of the rape of Nanking, one of the most tragic events in history. In nineteen thirty-seven, the invading Japanese army murdered over 200,000 and raped tens of thousands of Chinese. In the midst of the horror, a small group of Western expatriates banded together to save 250,000 — an act of extraordinary heroism. Bringing an event little-known outside of Asia to a global audience, “Nanking” shows the tremendous impact individuals can make on the course of history. It is a gripping account of light in the darkest of times.
