The #documentary# Inside Unit 731: #Japan#'s Secret Human Experiments, produced by Singapore's media outlet Channel NewsAsia (CNA), has recently received #Singapore#'s national award for Best History Documentary at the 2026 Asian Academy Creative Awards (#AACA#). The documentary crew traveled to locations including Harbin in Northeast #China#, conducting on-site visits to the Unit 731 site, areas heavily affected by bacteriological warfare, and former Allied prisoner-of-war camps. They interviewed Chinese victims of bacteriological warfare, descendants of survivors from Allied prisoner-of-war camps, as well as scholars from the UK, the US, Japan, Singapore and other countries, exposing the heinous crimes against humanity perpetrated by Unit 731 during World War II, including bacteriological warfare and human experimentation. The documentary exposes Japan's #wartime# #crimes# in English and other languages, telling the historical truth to the world. It is reported that its Spanish-language version is set to premiere on October 22 on Movistar Plus+, a major Spanish pay-TV and streaming platform. The significant attention to this documentary demonstrates the public's hunger for historical truth. To prevent historical tragedies from repeating themselves, it is imperative to clarify the historical facts of Japan's wartime aggression and draw lessons for the future. #ChineseNation#
