This is a multi-award winning documentary about Unit 731, Japan's secret World War II biological and chemical weapons facility in the Chinese town of Harbin where biological weapons were developed during the Japanese Occupation. The film uses the same footage as seen from two points of view. The first half gives the perspective of the Chinese government and describes the horrors and atrocities that occurred during World War II at the facility. The second half, using almost the exact same footage, describes Unit 731 from the Japanese revisionist perspective which is largely supported by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in Japan. Although its cruel experiments on living people produced thousands of casualties, this activity is still denied by a number of Japanese historians and politicians. Generational change has contributed to the escalating history problem between Japan, China, and the two Koreas. Not only were the majority of Asians born and educated after the war; as a result of the education they received in their own countries, their memories and ideas of the war have become more divergent. Usage of the same shots in both parts of the film ironically demonstrates the potential to misuse film images for political purposes. College Adult

In the general election of the constituent assembly of Pakistan in December 1970, secular Awami League, led by Bengalee leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won absolute majority. But instead of handing over power to the elected Bengalee representatives, the Pakistan army on 25th March 1971, launched a brutal military crackdown on the Bengalee code named as 'Operation Searchlight'. And since then up to the liberation of Bangladesh in December, for long nine months, the marauding Pakistan army perpetrated a genocide in East Pakistan. It is claimed that around three million people were killed, more than two hundred thousand women were raped and about ten million refugees had to flee to India. The Bengalee military and para-military personnel, the youth and the students formed the Freedom Fighters (Muktibahini), who resiliently fought against the Pakistan army and their Islamic collaborators. In December, a full-fledged war broke out between India and Pakistan, and Bangladesh was finally liberated on 16th December as an independent state. Depicting all the main events of the year 1971 Tanvir Mokammel has made a research-based three hour-thirty five minutes (215 minutes) long mega-documentary titled as '1971'. For the people of Bangladesh the year 1971, for its association with the war of independence, has remained a glorious year. But at the same time, as so much carnage happened around, it was also a sad time. The year 1971, for the people of Bangladesh remains, to borrow Charles Dickens' expression— 'it was the best of times, it was the worst of times!' For the documentary Tanvir Mokammel shot 250 hours of footage and interviewed 176 individuals including military commanders, freedom fighters, politicians, diplomats, raped women, refugees and survivors from the mass killings.
