Japanese Cannibalism
What really happened in the jungle of Mindanao
During 1944, when US general Douglas MacArthur conquered the Philippine Island of Mindanao, the Japanese occupying forces escaped to the mountains of Kitanglad. There they hid and survived by eating the dead bodies of their comrades who had died of malaria. Then they attacked the local natives, killed, cooked and ate over 90 of them. It was only after 1947 that the guerrilla fighter Alejandro Sales managed to defeat the remaining Japanese solders and to convince them, that World War II had ended years ago.
The film tells the incredible story based on contemporary eye witnesses.
A film by Stéphane Kleeb, Guy Pitt and David Pollard
