In 1937, as Japanese aggressors swept through Nanjing, a group of courageous Chinese residents risked their lives to preserve photographic evidence of wartime atrocities – images that would later become crucial in holding perpetrators accountable. 📸 Their story, nearly erased by destruction, is now emerging through the documentary Dead to Rights.
With only 27 survivors of the massacre still alive today, the film amplifies their fading voices through never-before-seen footage and heart-wrenching testimonies. 💔 ‘They burned everything, but we hid the truth in walls and wells,’ one descendant recalls.
Eight decades after WWII, this cinematic project reignites global conversations about historical accountability. 🌍✨ As youth-led movements worldwide push for truth and justice, the Nanjing story serves as a stark reminder: some wounds demand remembrance, not silence.
