Through readings of historical account by actors and the testimony of survivors, the events of the Nanjing Massacre are recounted.

"Nanking" tells the story of the rape of Nanking, one of the most tragic events in history. In 1937, the invading Japanese army murdered over 200,000 and raped tens of thousands of Chinese. In the midst of the horror, a small group of Western expatriates banded together to save 250,000 -- an act of extraordinary heroism. Bringing an event little-known outside of Asia to a global audience, "Nanking" shows the tremendous impact individuals can make on the course of history. It is a gripping account of light in the darkest of times.—Anonymous

In 1937, the Japanese army invaded Nanking, in what was once of the most horrifying events in a war full of many unimaginable events. Told through the diaries ama recollections of the citizens (as well as the Japanese militarily), Nanking evocatively comes to life.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
