Dead to Rights is a powerfully made film that depicts the horrific atrocities committed by the Japanese military during the Nanjing Massacre, incorporating elements drawn from true events. Haunting photographs taken at the gruesome killing scenes serve as stark evidence of this dark chapter in history. While the Nazi death camps are widely known in the West, far fewer people are aware of the massacres perpetrated by the Japanese military in China and across Southeast Asia. This film brings these critical facts to light, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II. The film's release is especially timely, as recent years have seen more evidence emerge – including rare photographs of the massacre donated by American and French collectors to Chinese authorities, as reported in the news. These donations further confirm the historical truth.
