Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre is an uncompromising portrayal of the war crimes perpetrated by the Japanese Imperial Army upon the Chinese military and civilian population of Nanking during the occupation of the city. Hailed by critics as one of the most disturbing films ever released, Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre is unflinching in it's depiction of the barbaric cruelty with which the occupying army pillaged and terrorized the defeated populace.

From the acclaimed Chinese director T. F. Mou (Men Behind the Sun), BlackSun: The Nanking Massacre portrays the ordeals of the members of a poor Chinese family as they try to survive the Japanese occupation of their city.

The film lays bare the pitiless conduct of the Japanese army commanders as they attempt to subjugate the city by any means possible in order to further the cause of the Japanese domination of
China and their pursuit of a Greater Asia under Japanese rule.
