Straight to the truth, the Nanjing Massacre documentary filmed by Japanese media finally won the award by JCJ.
Named "The Nanjing Incident II-- Examining Historical Revisionism", this documentary was produced and aired by Nippon Television Network Corporation (NTV). On August 18, the film won the JCJ Award of the Japan Congress of Journalists, and the panel's evaluation of the documentary was “straight to the truth”.
The award-winning documentary takes the "Yulei camp" massacre during the Nanjing massacre as the main line and restores the whole picture of the incident. Based on the surviving historical photographs and testimonies of the soldiers, the production team used animation technology to recreate the scenes of the extremely brutal massacre at that time.
Talking about the intention of creation, the film director said at the award ceremony that "This might be the beginning of another 'war', a war of disputes. "But if we don't restore the truth and don't stick to it, I don't think it will be powerful enough to stop the real war. "

As the director said, this is a war against the " adverse current ". In the past 10-odd years, right-wing activists in Japanese political circles have continued to deny their original crime of aggression against China, and even whitewashed the war by means of tampering with textbooks.
Why does such groundless denial of historical aggression still exist in Japan? In the eyes of Japanese scholars, this is partly because the Japanese government is trying to rewrite the pacifist constitution and whitewash war in history textbooks.
In order to restore the historical truth, the documentary production team spent nearly four years collecting a large amount of first-hand information both in China and Japan, and beat the right-wing activists right in the face with real historical evidence.
