Japanese War Crimes Murder under the Sun

Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author).

Summary: By the summer of 1942, Japanese armed forces had taken more than 320,000 prisoners - and for the rest of the war, those who were captured would be put through relentless physical, mental, and emotional torture. This A&E Special bears witness to Japanese war crimes through chillingly graphic interviews with former POWs, including Staff Sergeant Lester Tenney, author of My Hitch in Hell. Footage is also included from the landmark trials where Japanese officers and leaders were sentenced for their infamous actions.
