Award-winning documentary on trials of Japanese war crimes in WWII screens in UK

Seeing the prisoners jump into the water, Japanese soldiers opened fired on them.

"It was a Chinese fisherman that changed everything. When they came out, the Japanese saw them, and that was it. That was when they (Chinese fishermen) started picking us up," Morley said in the documentary when he was interviewed in 2019.

Morley died of complications triggered by COVID-19 in January, but his daughter, Denise Wynne, traveled from Chalford to London to attend the screening session.

"I felt overwhelmed and honored to come and watch the premiere, it is my first time seeing it on the big screen," said Wynne, with tears in her eyes.

"If it wasn't for the Chinese fishermen, the Japanese would continue shooting those who escaped from the sinking ship, so I suggest building a memorial for the people died in the incident and also the fishermen who saved lives," she said.
