Saw Dead to Rights (南京照相馆). Heartbreaking. Lots of people die. About the Japanese invasion of Nanjing and how the atrocities were documented. During the 1937 Nanjing Massacre, postman A Chang posed as a photo developer, helping Japanese forces while secretly sheltering Chinese refugees. He later risked his life evacuating them and revealing evidence of the atrocities.
-Use of propaganda to promote how good things were
-The difference between the North and the South Chinese and how they couldn’t coordinate a defense against the Japanese because they didn’t speak the same language
