Synopsis

Documentary that presents the story of Japan's wartime prime minister, Hideki Tojo -- the man who presided over the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Was he a militarist aggressor who shared a plan for world domination with Hitler and Mussolini or a loyal man who fought in defense of his country, only to be hanged after a show trial? With clips from "Pride, the Fatal Moment," a film based on a book by Tojo's granddaughter, Yukio Tojo, archival footage and documents, and firsthand witnesses, the program examines the man and his role in World War II.
