From the director of NAILS and VISIONS OF
SUFFERING
PHILOSOPHY OF A KNIFE
The true history of Japanese Unit 731,
from its beginnings in the 1930's to its demise in 1945, and the subsequent
trials in Khabarovsk, USSR, of many of the Japanese doctors from Unit 731.
The facts are told, and previously unknown evidence is revealed by an
eyewitness to these events, former doctor and military translator, Anatoly
Protasov. Part documentary and part feature, the story is shown from the
perspective of a young Japanese nurse who witnessed many of horrors, and a
young Japanese officer who is torn between his sincere convictions that he
is serving the greater purpose, and the deep sympathy he feels for an
imprisoned Russian girl. His life is a living hell as he's compelled to
carry out atrocious experiments on the other prisoners, using them as guinea
pigs in this shocking tale of mankind's barbarity. Philosophy of a Knife is
truly one of the most violent, brutal and harrowing movies ever made.
