Get ready, movie lovers! The Russian war drama Blood Type is set to hit screens in Beijing on September 5 🎬. This gripping film sheds light on a little-known chapter of World War II: orphans from the former Soviet Union forced to donate blood for wounded German soldiers.
At the recent premiere in Beijing, Gazprom-Media CEO Alexander Zharov took the stage to promote the project. "This film is a powerful reminder of history and the victims of war crimes," Zharov said. He honored the victory of the former Soviet Union over German fascist aggressors in the Great Patriotic War and linked it to China’s struggle for independence in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. "Our peoples' sacrifices must never be forgotten," he added.
By weaving these parallel stories, Blood Type invites audiences to reflect on universal themes of resilience, solidarity, and the human cost of conflict. Whether you’re a history buff, a film fanatic, or just looking for a moving story, this movie promises to deliver. Mark your calendars, and get ready to experience history on the big screen!
