Manshuu Ahen Squad

Also known as Manchuria Opium Squad.

Status: Releasing
Genres: Action , Mystery , Thriller

There is little documentation on the shadow of Japan, particularly on the actions of the pre-war army. However, due to the financial situation at the time, financial difficulties in Manchuria were chronic. Opium thus became the starting point for a war under the British dynasty and the Qing yoke. But opium was also widely used in China. The size of this market was extraordinary, and its funds enormous. An economy that included warlords, officials and merchants, as well as underground organizations. Against this tense backdrop, a young farmer opts for opium to finally earn enough money to care for his mother. But in doing so, he takes the first step in a spiral that will take him right into the middle of the mafia war.

With a fascinatingly realistic stance, the authors document a little-known historical period. Nothing is spared in this raw, violent title, where the oppression brought to bear on the young hero proves suffocating.
