A very moving study of Japanese atrocities that are slowly gaining attention only in the past few years. By necessity, this isn't as informative as "The Rape of Nanking", but it covers the basic history and a handful of some of the more traumatic anecdotes. Having actors read from letters and memoirs is nothing new in documentaries, but here it's not simply voiceover accompanying footage, but we actually see the actors. I thought it would be jarring but it actually worked out quite well.
