A powerful reminder of the heartbreaking toll war takes on the innocent, Nanking tells the story of the Japanese invasion of Nanking, China, in the early days of World War II. The city was subjected to months of bombardment, and when it fell, the Japanese unleashed murder and rape on a horrifying scale. In the midst of the rampage, a small group of unarmed Westerners banded together to establish a safety zone, rescuing over 200,000 Chinese.
