Jun 27, 2010 Shanghai Ghetto and its historical background/context is fascinating and amazing in its own right, but the movie itself isn't quite up to the task. It's either too long, or didn't have enough footage to last 97 mins. Though these are interesting characters with stories i am quite interested in, too often we are staring at them talking, and many of the photographs are used more than once. It's of TV standard and frankly a bit disappointing because with the given material it is quite possible to make a great documentary.

Several people are shown visiting the exact locations in Shanghai where they stayed during the war. Not a lot has changed. See more Nov 7, 2008 Very interesting documentary. I didn't know about the Jewish refugees in Shanghai. Although I really liked it, I thought that at times the pace was not very fluent. See more Sep 8, 2008 Beautiful documentary about a Jewish refugee community in Shanghai. Amazing how they got there and created and created such thriving culture under such destitute conditions. I knew nothing about this history. See more Apr 30, 2008 Quote: "You don't know you were in the heaven until you got kicked out." History is too heavy to forget! See more Read all reviews
