Movies and TvShows featuring "rape-of-nanking" theme.

Caterpillar is a gripping war drama that tells the story of a quadriplegic soldier returning home from the frontline of the Second Sino-Japanese War. As he struggles to come to terms with his disabilities and the horrors he witnessed during the war, the soldier's relationship with his wife becomes strained. The film delves into themes of disillusionment, marital abuse, sexual violence, and the propaganda war machine of Japan during this dark period of history.

During the brutal invasion of China in 1937 by Imperial Japanese forces, tens of thousands of civilians and prisoners of war are murdered and women raped in what is known simply as "The Rape of Nanking." This docudrama is a stirring account of a small band of courageous American missionaries who choose to stay in Nanking to try and protect a quarter million vulnerable Chinese civilians who are trapped in a city ruled by a savage, out of control army. Their stories are brought vividly to life through actual real-time letters and diaries as they bear witness to one of the worst wartime atrocities in history.
