Unit 731 was an Japanese covert medical experiment unit in WWII mainly focusing on biological weapons. They used prisoners as test subject. There experiments would range from being placed in to high pressure chambers until death to being starved from food and water to see how long a human could survive. Mou Tun Fei's film Men Behind the Sun shows you what happened in Unit 731 with out holding any thing back.
Men Behind the Sun tells the story from many different perspectives in the movie. It focuses on the youth squad of Unit 731, but it also shows the high ups and the prisoners. This film basically documents some of the experiments they did on the prisoners. It also shows what happens at the end of the war and how they had to destroy Unit 731 so that it would never be know what happened there.
This film is not for the faint heart. It has excellent effects, but there is an autopsy in the movie of a little Chinese boy that is not effects, its all real. There is also a cat being eaten alive by hundred's of rats, so if real and/or animal death disturb you stay away from this film. Men Behind the Sun is a very powerful film, I recommend it strongly. But keep in mind this all really happened.
