Nanking, a</i> documentary film about the Nanking Massacre, was recently
rated among the top 20 films at the Sundance Film Festival and received
an award for documentary editing. This film drew heavily on photos,
films, diaries, and correspondence from missionary papers held at the
Yale Divinity Library - after many weeks of the film's researchers
delving through materials in our collections. Missionaries made up
the majority of the Westerners who remained in Nanking (Nanjing) during
the Japanese occupation and were instrumental in establishing an
international safety zone. In the film, Woody Harrelson and Mariel
Hemingway play missionaries in a staged reading. (I'm not making this
up!) The film's web site is at
