Plans for a Film About Nanking Massacre

A Chinese-American co-production of a film about the 1937 Japanese massacre of Chinese civilians known as the Rape of Nanking is on the drawing board, the Chinese state news media said yesterday. The report came on the 61st anniversary of Japan’s announcement of its surrender in World War II. The Xinhua news agency said the film would be the Chinese equivalent of “Schindler’s List,” Steven Spielberg’s 1993 Holocaust film, which won seven Oscars, including those for best film and best director.
