The Truth about Nanjing

The Truth about Nanjing

The Truth about Nanjing (南京の真実 Nankin no shinjitsu?) is a forthcoming film by Japanese filmmaker Satoru Mizushima (水島 総?) about the 1937 Nanking Massacre.

The film, backed by nationalistic figures including Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara and public donation,[1] is intended to expose alleged propaganda[2] aspects of the Nanking Massacre. Less than a month before the 70th anniversary of the Nanjing massacre, the director said in an interview[1] that Japanese war criminals were martyrs who were made into scapegoats for war crimes as Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross in order to bear the sins of the world, and they died bearing all of old Japan's good and bad parts. He also claimed that the Nanjing Massacre was a politically motivated frame-up by China and the numerous Western eyewitnesses, whose accounts form the basis of the historical understanding of the Nanjing Massacre. These accounts are, according to the filmmakers, espionage activities.

Satoru said that the project is meant to counter the film Nanking, a 2007 American documentary, which he believes is "based on fabrications and gives a false impression"[3] and which he perceives to be a "setup by China to control intelligence".
