下面是Joseph博士10月4日给大家的信，他感谢大家的支持，并通报，最近正在赶制日文版本。但是，最重要的信息是，号召所有知道这件事的人，都能参与督促北美的媒体播放关于这个野蛮史实的影视。因为公元2007年12月13日是南京大屠杀70周年纪念日。 Update & Progress Report: Documentary Film-The Rape of Nanking


I wish to again thank everyone for their support for the documentary
film: The Rape of Nanking." I sent a DVD to everyone who donated. If
you did not receive the DVD, let me
know and I will immediately send you one.

I would also like to provide an update on our fundraising, and a
report on our progress to produce the Japanese language edition.

1) Everyone will be pleased to know that we raised, so far, over
$50,000.00. This is enough money to save the film and pay all fees and
most of the expenses related to this film, including licensing renewal
fees.

2) Because of the donations, I was able to hire a professional
Japanese actor to narrate the film in Japanese, and a Japanese editor
and translator to help translate and edit the
narration and subtitles. In addition to paying for the recording
studio and a recording engineer, this was all very expensive and it
costs a lot of money. This would not have
been possible without the help of donors. The two Japanese who have
been working on this, have found the fillm to be quite shocking.

3) Everyone will be pleased to know that I have corrected the few
errors and we have nearly completed the Japanese language edition.We
will have a draft completed by this Sunday! The next step is showing
the draft to Japanese for feedback, and to correct any problems. Then
I we will create a final version, which we will put on video.google,
Youtube, and other internet websites. We will also contact the
Japanese press. This may take another two weeks.

4) The 70th anniversary is this December. A number of people have
asked for permission to allow the film to be shown at their
university. This is a great idea. If you would like to organize a
free showing, let me know and contact your school or organization.

5) I have offered this film to PBS (KQED) TV for free. They refused it
because they claimed the subject was too "controversial" and they
didn't want to offend the Asian community, i.e. the Japanese. I
believe that if we all contact PBS, or ABC TV or CBS TV or NBC TV, we
might be able to get this film on American TV in time for the 70th
anniversary.

6) In about 10 days I will supply everyone with email or telephone
contact information for the top executives at these TV broadcast
stations. If a single TV executive gets hundreds (or thousands) of
calls and Emails about this film, we might be able to persuade them to
put this movie on TV so that all of American can learn of this
tragedy.

Thank you for your help.

Truly,

R. Joseph, Ph.D.

下面是Joseph博士10月13日给大家的回信，他给列出了几个北美媒体的电子邮箱，并起草了一份督促信的样本。非常感激他为我们想得这样周到，实际上，本人并不擅长以英文写这样一份正式的书信。本人建议大家在信尾署名，并写上您的真实地址及电话，让媒体知道，这是来自一个真实存在的团结有力的群体的不容忽视的声音。 PLEASE POST & Share with your friends.

I have completed a draft of the Japanese language edition of the Rape
of Nanking, which can be viewed at:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7090135414759666746&hl=en

We are checking for errors and other problems which we will fix. Your
feedback is welcome. I admit, I feel I am putting my life in danger by
creating this film.

As promised, I have obtained the email addresses for PBS
representatives, including PBS president Ms. Kerger, and the New York
Times and the Los Angeles Times. I urge everyone, and their friends,
to send an email to Kerger, and to cc their letter to these other
addresses. This way, the New York Times and the LA Times will be
informed. We can have a great impact if thousands of people send an
email.

I have also written a sample letter (below). You may send that letter,
or you may send parts of that letter, or your may write your own
letter.

I will not profit from this: I am offering the film to PBS for free.

Truly,

R. Joseph, Ph.D.

Title: Please Show the Film: The Rape of Nanking, this December.

Please Show the Film: The Rape of Nanking, this December.

We urge PBS and WGBH to show the highly acclaimed documentary film,
"The Rape of Nanking" this December, which is the 70th anniversary of
this tragedy. By showing this film, PBS will provide some balance to
what has been a biased, distorted view of history.

In the recent PBS series on WWII, Japanese were presented as victims
and Japanese soldiers were applauded for their bravery. However, the
major contributions and suffering of the Chinese people were
completely ignored. China was a major allie of the US. Over 30 million
Chinese were killed by the Japanese. Over 1 million Japanese soldiers
were fighting in China, and if the Chinese people had given up, these
one million Japanese soldiers would have been unleashed against the US
and America might have lost the war. In America, Chinese also suffered
because they were Asian. And yet PBS failed to make any mention of the
Chinese or Chinese-Americans, focusing instead on Japanese suffering
and bravery.

On the PBS home page, PBS pays honor to the 6 million Jews who died in
Europe. PBS is also planning to air yet another program glorifying the
bravery of Japanese soldiers. Why are the deaths of over 30 million
Chinese, and the suffering and
contributions of the Chinese people and Chinese-Americans ignored by
PBS? This type of programming is biased, racist, and presents a
distorted view of history.

The 70th anniversary of the Rape of Nanking is this December. We are
requesting that PBS and PBS stations air the highly acclaimed
documentary film, "The Rape of Nanking" which was produced by noted
scholar, Rhawn Joseph, Ph.D., and award winning journalist, Haiyan Wu.
This film has had a world wide impact, and has been viewed an
estimated 10 million times, 4 million times in the US. It is ranked #9
"Most Discussed Film of All Time" at Youtube. We believe this is one
of the best films ever made on this subject. The producers have agreed
to offer this film, free of charge to PBS stations. They would also
work with PBS to make any requested changes.

We urge you to show this film, "The Rape of Nanking" this December.

今天早些时候收到 WGBH 电视台的回信，由于影片的技术上不满足他们的要求，他们无法播放该片。


Dear Viewer,




Thank you for your e-mail about R. Joseph's film, "The Rape of Nanking." We always appreciate hearing feedback from our viewers and listeners.



Our programming department has reviewed the film, and while this is undoubtedly an important topic, the film does not meet WGBH's basic technical and production standards for television broadcast. Consequently, we do not have plans to air it.



Again, we appreciate you taking the time to share your programming suggestion with us.



Sincerely,
WGBH Member Development and Services

WGBH - Produced in Boston, shared with the world.

感谢Joseph博士。他很快给我们发来邮件，鼓励大家不要放弃。他说，两个月前，美籍墨西哥人要求PBS电视台播放有关他们对二战的贡献的影片，被以各种借口拒绝了。结果电视台被控歧视，并最终改变他们的错误决定。在过去的7天里，成千上万的中国人联系 PBS WGBH 督促他们播放《南京梦魇〉〉。对方拒绝播出的原因是影片分辨率过低，实际上，他们指的是网络上供人线上浏览的版本。博士正联系他们，提供DVD版本的影片给媒体，促使他们改变错误决定。博士联系了官员和其他媒体，包括<<纽约时报>>,有编辑对影片感兴趣。Joseph博士希望我们，中国人，不要放弃。继续保持对他们施压，这场战斗，我们一定会是笑到最后的人。博士重新写了一封信，希望大家发给 PBS 的总裁，说明最近发生的事实，请他们重视公众的呼声。PBS 是以公众资金建立的媒体，理应为公众服务，理应重视一个被世界范围浏览千万次，美国浏览4百万次，“最被YouTube探讨”排名第九的影片。 Please Post & Distribute:

Don't Give Up. We Can Win the Battle with PBS Over the Rape of Nanking.

Two months ago, Mexican-Americans demanded that PBS include their contributions in the PBS series on WWII. PBS refused, behaved dishonestly, made up dozens of excuses,
was accused of racism and bigotry, and finally agreed to make changes.

In the last 7 days, thousands of Chinese Americans have contacted PBS, WGBH, etc., urging they show the highly acclaimed documentary, The Rape of Nanking.

In an anonymous letter to me (Dr. Joseph) WGBH stated they "reviewed the film online," which is very low resolution and less than 100 MB in size. The DVD version is broadcast
resolution and over 16 Gigabytes in size. When I (Dr Joseph) pointed this out, WGBH, in its rejection letter to supporters, covered up and hid the fact that it is the low resolution
"online" copy that does not meet their "technical" standards. WGBH is behaving dishonestly. Note I have offered to cooperate with PBS, WGBH, etc., to make any reasonable
changes.

Don't Give Up.

I have contacted several elected officials and newspaper reporters (TV critics), and have spoken with an editor at the New York Times who is interested in this story. If we
continue the pressure, the Chinese people, and history, will be the winner.

Don't Give Up. We are winning this battle. You should also consider contacting your local newspaper's TV Critic.

I have composed a new email (see below), and a new e-mail address to contact the president of PBS: corporatesecretary@pbs.org

Dear President Kerger:

We are urging PBS to show some flexibility and to show the highly acclaimed documentary film, The Rape of Nanking." The director has agreed to work with PBS to make any
reasonable changes.

In the recent series on WWII, PBS failed to make any mention of the contributions of China or Chinese-Americans. China was a major Allie of the USA, over 30 million Chinese
were killed, and 1 million Japanese were fighting in China. Instead, PBS emphasized Japanese suffering and the bravery of Japanese soldiers.
PBS is planning to show yet another documentary glorifying the bravery of Japanese soldiers but continues to ignore the contributions of China and the Chinese people. This
type of programming is biased, dishonest and racist.


Thousands of Chinese-Americans have requested that PBS and PBS stations such as WGBH, air the highly acclaimed documentary, The Rape of Nanking, this December, the
70th anniversary of the Rape of Nanking. KQED rejected the film because they believed the topic was "controversial." This is dishonest. WGBH "reviewed the online film" which
is low resolution and less than 100 mb and then rejected the low resolution edition because of "technical" reasons. This is dishonest. PBS has chosen to ignore these requests.
As PBS has a mandate to serve the public, ignoring these requests is dishonest.

PBS is publically funded. PBS has a mandate to serve the public. We are requesting that PBS, WGBH, etc., air the highly acclaimed documentary, The Rape of Nanking, which has
been viewed an estimated 10 million times world wide, 4 million times in the US, and is ranked #9 "Most Discussed Film of All Time" -youtube.
