Exposing wartime atrocities, film '731' set for September 18 release

　　 The historical drama "731," directed by Zhao Linshan, is set to hit theaters on September 18 to raise awareness of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Told from the perspective of ordinary civilians, the film sheds light on the harrowing war crimes committed by Japan's notorious Unit 731 in Harbin during World War II.
