This film is a documentary version of the Rape of Nanjing. Other films about the Rape of Nanjing included Nanjing, 1937, which although is a war drama, all of its accounts are based on the true story, and one really could not deviate too much from documentary anyway. It is highly recommended to read the book titled the Rape of Nanjing written by Iris Chang for more detailed historical account.
