Salt of the earth

There was an international settlement in Shanghai called The Shanghai International Settlement and they had a private seat the witness the massacres that took place during wars. Like surreal theatre. In 1937, across the Wusong River they watched as the Japanese forces bombarded and killed the Chinese forces defending a warehouse, their last and only fortress in the city, their last bastion of hope. Outstandinly well made historical war drama, top-notch cinematography and a gripping story of courage.
