Abstract:

Unit 731 was a Japanese biological and chemical weapons facility in Harbin, China during WWII where cruel experiments were perpetrated on thousands of human subjects.  The first half of the film shows the Chinese government's perspective of the atrocities and the second half shows how ironically the same images could be misused for Japanese revisionists that deign what happened.  The majority of Asians were not around to remember the war and so what they know about their neighboring nations is subject to how history is being presented to them.
