Set during the 1937 occupation of Nanking by Japanese forces, this deeply emotional war epic moves beyond the battle zone to journey alongside the city’s inhabitants and reveals the largely untold saga of the defiant Chinese resisters who refused to bow down to their oppressors, despite the impossible odds facing them. From inside this walled, occupied settlement comes a vibrant portrait of the tenacity, courage, sacrifice, dignity, communion and love that mark human lives even when they are pushed to the brink by war’s terrors. This powerful film has achieved great success because its story strikes a timeless and universal chord.

Also playing Sunday March 14 at 9pm at the Regal South Beach cinema.
