Synopsis
Documentary that attempts to enter the minds of the Japanese during World War II. Sixty years after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the program looks into the Japanese belief in their own racial superiority and how early triumphs over the Allies gave them the misconception that they couldn't lose. When the tide of the war turned, that same mentality caused them to become more ruthless, and their tactics more suicidal.
