Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of post-2010 Chinese films revisiting WWII through nationalist resistance narratives, often funded with state support.
The 'Hutou Fortress' was a real Japanese stronghold in Heilongjiang; the film's bioweapon plot loosely echoes actual Unit 731 atrocities.
