Default Another Lie in "Why We Fight"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LbVe...layer_embedded

In addition to fabricating and falsely attributing statements to Adolf Hitler, Frank Capra's Why We Fight also misrepresents documentary film footage. This video demonstrates that Capra edited footage of an execution of Communists by Nationalist Chinese troops to misrepresent it as an execution of civilians by Japanese troops. The evidence for this is given beginning at 5:36 in the video.

I do not mean to suggest that the Japanese were not cruel; the Japanese and the Chinese alike (although Capra portrays the Chinese as passive and thoroughly gentle) could be very cruel to prisoners. But the fact is that certain scenes in Frank Capra's Why We Fight are not what they are said to be.
