If you’re scrolling through movie listings on a rainy afternoon, here’s one to add to your must-watch list 🎬
'Dead To Rights' is the latest Chinese wartime film that brings the harrowing Nanjing Massacre to life. It just hit theaters in Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver – and Canadians are wiping away tears at every screening. 😢
The Nanjing Massacre refers to the brutal attack on China’s ancient capital in the late 1930s, when thousands of civilians were caught in the crossfire. This film doesn’t just show history; it invites us to feel its weight, understand its lessons, and discuss it over coffee with friends ☕️.
Why South and Southeast Asians should care? Our region knows its share of stories where power and politics ripple through everyday lives. 'Dead To Rights' reminds us that film is a powerful medium for empathy – whether it’s a Bollywood epic or a Chinese drama.
So next movie night, grab your crew, order some samosas or banh mi, and dive into a story that asks us all: how do we remember the past to build a kinder future? 🌏✨
