Tokyo Trials Documentary Film Provides a New Perspective on World War II

Kapanlagi.com - After the end of World War II, the Tokyo Trials were the most participated and longest trials in human history. Eleven allied countries held joint trials against Class A Japanese war criminals.

Why didn't the Emperor of Japan, as the head of state, sit in the defendant's seat and why are there still some people in Japan who try to deny the Tokyo trial?

Seventy years later, the trial seems to still be unfinished. A documentary film 'Tokyo Trial' attempts to review the process of the Tokyo trial. The film team traveled to the United States, Germany, and Japan, interviewed international scholars and experts, and presented a history gradually forgotten 70 years ago in a peaceful, calm, and objective manner.
