Hello all,<br><br>
For those of you who are interested in a little more background on
<i>Nanking</i>, there is an interview with Ted Leonsis, the producer of
the film, on the New York Times website. The video was part of the
Time's Sundance coverage. You can access the video via the
following link.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><i>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
