City of Life and Death

This week, the guys go to China for a very disturbing film about some terrifying real human tragedy - City of Life and Death. Did this movie nearly get banned for just portraying one Japanese character in a sympathetic light? Is this the most disturbing movie on the podcast thus far? What makes John Rabe such an interesting and conflicted character? All this and more in this week's episode. Trigger warning ahead: there is some disturbing violent and sexual content in the film that is discussed.
 
Next week: Gary Cooper!
