Tiger Of Malaya

Synopsis:
Hiro Kanagawa's script examines the post-WWII trial of Japanese general Tomoyuki Yamashita. Yamashita was military governor of the Philippines for the last year of the war. During that time, Japanese troops committed numerous atrocities against the Filipino population, and in the trial, Yamashita was held responsible for them. In Tiger of Malaya, Kanagawa makes a compelling case that the court proceedings were nothing but a trumped-up spectacle used to justify American general Douglas Macarthur's desire for revenge against a defeated opponent.
