A powerful new documentary, Dead to Rights, is bringing one of World War II’s most harrowing chapters—the 1937 Nanjing Massacre—to global audiences. Co-hosted by CGTN America in Los Angeles, the film’s North American premiere united filmmakers, historians, and cultural leaders aiming to spark reflection and dialogue. 🎥💬
Timed to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the film confronts historical atrocities while advocating peace. Its release comes as younger generations seek deeper understanding of 20th-century conflicts.
After debuting in Australia and New Zealand earlier this month, Dead to Rights hits over 250 U.S. theaters on August 15, with 20,000+ screenings planned. It’ll also screen in the UK, Germany, France, Russia, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. 🌏✨
Through survivor testimonies and archival footage, the documentary bridges past and present—a reminder of resilience amid darkness. As one attendee noted: 'Stories like these aren’t just history; they’re lessons for today.'
