Nanking

Co-directors Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman helm this Sundance selection chronicling the story of the Rape of Nanking, a World War II-era tragedy in which more than 200,000 Chinese citizens were murdered and tens of thousands were raped at the hands of Japanese soldiers. Woody Harrelson, Mariel Hemingway and Stephen Dorff portray some of the Westerners who rose to the occasion with quiet acts of heroism.
