Back To 1942 DVD (import)

Blockbuster director Feng Xiaogang, China's answer to Steven Spielberg, follows up his acclaimed disaster film Aftershock with this unsettling, action-packed portrayal of one of the darkest periods in Chinese history, based on Liu Zhengyun's best-selling novel Remembering 1942. Back to 1942 is an epic reconstruction of the deadly drought of 1942 that took its toll on China's central Henan province during the war against Japan, resulting in the loss of at least three million people.

In the midst of the devastation, an American journalist (Brody) searches for answers and slowly comes to understand that there may be a greater connection between these tragedies and his political theories than he once believed.
