John Rabe

Based on a true story, John Rabe tells the story of a German businessman who rescued more than 200,000 civilians during the so-called “Nanking Massacre” in China. Drawing from John Rabe’s 1937 diaries as source material, Academy Award ® Winner Florian Gallenberger has crafted a portrait of a man revered as a saint in China to this day and yet never rewarded for his courage during his lifetime. An Official Selection at the Berlin Film Festival. Winner of 4 Golden Lolas, Germany's top film prize, for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Costume and Best Production Design. Steve Buscemi, Ulruch Tukur, Daniel Bruel and Anne Consigny; Florian Gallenberger wrote and directed.

“One of the main virtues of John Rabe is to demonstrate that, however much we know about the worst of all wars, it still has little-known corners that can amaze us.” (David Denby, New Yorker)
