This is a German language movie-- but with various other languages thrown in-- about a German national who helped save over 200,000 Chinese during the Rape of Nanking by the Japanese in late 1937.

Has a lot of action and drama and some very good performances including one by Steve Buscemi as a doctor trying to save the wounded civilians from the "Nanking Massacre."

It won Best Picture and Best Actor at the German Film Awards.

Thanks for the recommendation. We will rent it. We LOVE foreign films.
