Based on actual events, John Rabe tells the story of a German businessman who rescued more than 200,000 Chinese during the Nanking Massacre in China by courageously negotiating a safety zone to protect innocent civilians from the Japanese Army. 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. Ulrich Tukur (The White Ribbon, The Lives Of Others) heads an all-star cast including Daniel Bruhl (Inglorious Basterds), Anne Consigny (The Diving Bell and the Butterfuly) and Golden Globe Nominee Steve Buscemi (Ghost World, The Big Lebowski).
