'Nanking' is a documentary film that tells the story of the rape of Nanking, one of the most tragic events in history. In the winter of 1937, 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 European and American expatriates banded together to save 250,000 -- an act of extraordinary heroism. Reading from letters and diaries, actors bring to life the Western missionaries, professors, and businessmen who risked their own lives daily to protect innocent Chinese from slaughter. Through these performances, Nanking unfolds as if the event is happening before our eyes. At the heart of the film is John Rabe (J rgen Prochnow), a German businessman who has been called the Oskar Schindler of China. A chief architect of the Safety Zone that rescued thousands in Nanking, Rabe stands bravely alongside Bob Wilson (Woody Harrelson), the only surgeon remaining to care for legions of victims, and Minnie Vautrin (Mariel Hemingway), an educator

Filmmaker Bill Guttentag takes a closer look at the atrocities committed by the Japanese after Nanking fell to the Imperial Japanese Army in 1937 with this documentary that was inspired by Iris Chang's novel {-The Rape of Nanking}. Compiled from over 700 hours of footage including news-reel footage, interviews with survivors and soldiers, and staged readings, Nanking was financed in large by millionaire Ted Leonsis, who had read Chang's obituary and subsequently been prompted to read the author's best-selling account of the massacre. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide.
