Orders from Tokyo, 1945

(viewer discretion advised)

The US and Filipino forces worked together to take out the remaining Japanese forces that were under orders from Tokyo to systematically kill all remaining civilians, destroy and burn down buildings and infrastructure before pulling out. Japan has apologized, but it was a long time coming.

"Orders from Tokyo" was filmed in cooperation with the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines and the Office of Strategic Services. Photographed and narrated by David C. Griffin, with a brief introduction by Brigadier General Carlos P. Romulo, the film exposes Japanese brutality in vivid detail. It also shows the city of Manila before and after the systematic rape at the hands of Japan.
