The 400 Million

Joris Ivens's wartime documentary depicts China's resistance to the Japanese invasion, cross-cutting scenes of civilian exodus and bombing with the Nationalist state's mobilization efforts, including schools, industry, dispersed war production, foreign relief, and guerrilla fighting. Framing an ancient nation of "400 million," the film contrasts tradition with modernization and closes on the unresolved question of victory.
