Japanese Devils (or Riben Guizi 日本鬼子) is a Japanese documentary about the war crimes committed by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.
Controversies stirred up over the credibility of the movie. All the 14 former soldiers appeared in the film were ex-POWs of China and were subjected to a long "re-education" by the Chinese government in Fushun War Criminals Management Centre.[1]
The Chinese term Riben Guizi is a common ethnic slur against the Japanese people (See Anti-Japanese sentiment in China).
