| Summary: | Duration: 00:50:00
To reach their goal of world domination, the Imperial Government of Japan decided that they would have to build a huge arsenal of biochemical weapons. Their takeover of the Chinese province of Manchuria was the first step, and in a top secret research facility called Unit 731, Japanese doctor Shiro Ishii and his staff conducted weapons research that claimed the lives of untold thousands perhaps even hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians. These atrocities were not exposed and no one was ever punished because the documents recording the grim findings were secretly sold to the United States in exchange for amnesty. This documentary details the chilling coverup that resulted from two nation's duplicity. |
