Best Film Representation of Japan's Experience During the 1943-1945 Sub War

[scotisle]

Hi,

I'm teaching a High School 11/12 elective on Japan, and we're looking at representations of Japanese history through film from the Sengoku Wars to modern times. I'm hoping to find a drama or documentary that exemplifies the submarine war of 1943-1945, when so many Japanese ships were sunk, but from the Japanese point of view. I know there are many American WWII sub films, and I can show one of those, but I'm looking for something that demonstrates the hopelessness of leaving port when your convoy is going to be wiped out. I'm not familiar enough with Japanese TV, but even an episode of a show would be acceptable. Ideally it would be somewhat realistic.

Basically the Japanese version of GREYHOUND.

The caveat is that none of the students speak Japanese so it would need subtitles.

Thanks so much for your ideas!
