Back to 1942 International Trailer

The Henan province disaster was one of the darkest moments in 20th-century Chinese history - a humanitarian crisis first sparked by drought, then compounded by a combination of windstorms, government corruption, and a war with Japan.

In the midst of the devastation, an American journalist (Adrian Brody) searches for answers, and slowly comes to understand that there may be a greater connection between these tragedies and his political theories than he once thought.
