Dear friends,
 
Please go to http://nankingthefilm.com/ and sign the interest form which is posted there.  The producer can then show the film distributors the huge public interest in this film.  It will be the best way to help getting the film shown widely.  Please feel free to forward this to your friends too.  Thank you.

From Ignatius:
 
A new documentary film,called Nanking, was  just accepted into the Sundance Film Festival.  Produced by Ted Leonsis, and directed by Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman.  The film focuses on the Japanese invasion into Nanking in 1937 and 1938.

The film is based on collective testimony and eye witness accounts from the Chinrese survivors, Japanese soldiers and the brave westerners who banded together to save many lives.  The film's focus is on how a group of westerners could work together and save 250,000 lives in the city of
Nanking during bombing raids; invasion and occupation.
