On September 18, the film "731" was released in theaters worldwide. Meanwhile, efforts to have Unit 731 archives inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register have been stalled since 2019. This is not the only set of archives on the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that has faced obstruction.

Why has this history repeatedly encountered roadblocks on the global stage? By retracing the troubled path of these applications, the video exposes two Japanese organizations devoted to whitewashing wartime crimes, and follows the trail to a key figure who once stood toe-to-toe with Japan in the nomination process.

Watch the video to unmask the organizations working to rewrite the history of Japan's invasion of China.
