Synopsis

A feature-length wartime documentary compiled by Nihon Eigasha, Malayan War Record: A Record of the Onward March chronicles Japan’s 1941–42 campaign from the Malayan Peninsula to the fall of Singapore. Built from Japanese newsreels and confiscated British material, the film depicts key operations and ceremonies surrounding the British capitulation at the Ford Factory, functioning as morale-boosting propaganda for home and occupied audiences. First part of the two-film Mare Senki series; the companion title is Birth of Syonan-to.
