Get ready for a gripping cinematic ride! On September 5, the Russian war drama Blood Type lands in the Chinese mainland, offering a raw look at World War II's untold stories. 🎬
This film uncovers how orphaned kids in the former Soviet Union were forced to donate blood to wounded German soldiers – a haunting reminder of war's human cost. 😢
At the Beijing premiere in the Chinese mainland, Alexander Zharov, CEO of Gazprom-Media Holding, shared: "Today, I am honored to present this film, which serves as a reminder of history and the victims of war crimes. The former Soviet Union emerged victorious over German fascist aggressors in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, while China defended its independence in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The sacrifices made by our peoples should never be forgotten."
