In 1942, fishermen from China's Dongji Island risked their lives to save British POWs from Japanese forces.

On August 15 — the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender, "Dongji Rescue," a gripping drama, premieres in London, while documentary film "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" returns to UK cinemas.

Directors Guan Hu and Fang Li appear together for the first time in a CGTN interview, discussing filmmaking, historical truth, and the stories behind these two remarkable films.
