📽️ Big premiere alert: Evil Unbound debuted in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province in the Chinese mainland, where Unit 731 once operated.
This gripping documentary brings to life the stories of ordinary people like Wang Yongzhang, who were tricked into joining supposed health checks but ended up trapped in Unit 731's secret prison. They faced horrifying experiments—frostbite tests, gas exposure and even vivisection.
Unit 731 was a top-secret biological and chemical warfare research base in Pingfang District, serving as the nerve center for Japan's wartime experiments across China and Southeast Asia.
The world premiere happened one day before the official release, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the September 18 Incident of 1931—the moment Japan's 14-year aggression in China began.
This year also marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Against this historical backdrop, Evil Unbound shines a spotlight on a dark chapter of WWII and honors the memory of those who suffered.
Whether you're a history buff, student, or cinephile, Evil Unbound is a must-watch reminder of the past and the power of remembrance. 🎬✨
