The award-winning Docu-Drama Iris Chang -the Rape of Nanking was produced and premiered in Toronto in November 2007. Since then, it has been screened in many cities and universities in North America and around the world. In order to spread the facts of the gruesome WWII atrocity in a much larger scale, so as to seek peace, justice and humanity for the succeeding generations, this DVD also serves as an educational tool to facilitate teachers in class.
The DVD has subtitles in 7 languages: English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, which makes it possible for educators in most parts of the world to use as a teaching tool in classrooms. The DVD has been divided into 28 chapters so that teachers can make easy references to the film when they are teaching various subjects suggested by the DVD study guide that was composed jointly by a group of Ontario teachers and Toronto ALPHA.
