The Truth About Nanjing is a 2007 Japanese film by Satoru Mizushima that is widely considered to advocate for denial or revisionism of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre.

Background and funding

Mizushima said he received more than 200 million yen (US$1.8 million) in donations from 5,000 of his supporters in order to fund the film. The film was backed by nationalistic figures including Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara and was intended to expose what the filmmakers saw as propaganda aspects of the Nanjing Massacre.

The film was based on the work of Asia University professor Shūdō Higashinakano, who has claimed the massacre was a hoax. Higashinakano was ordered by a Japanese court to pay compensation to a Chinese woman after he accused her of lying about being a victim of violence by the Japanese in Nanjing.

Mizushima said that the project was meant to counter the film Nanking, a 2007 American documentary, which he claimed was "based on fabrications and gives a false impression" and which he perceives to be a "setup by China to control intelligence".
