Fourteen former Japanese soldiers recount their experiences in a stark documentary, detailing wartime atrocities and crimes—including the notorious Unit 731 medical experiments. Trained to be relentless killers, they describe becoming morally numb and viewing non‑Japanese as less than human. Now, weighed by remorse, they share their testimonies openly for the world to hear.
