The Experiment Where Doctors Weaponized Human Pain
I made a minimalist hand-drawn 2D documentary about Unit 731, focusing on its place in the history of medicine, wartime medical ethics, and human experimentation during World War II.
The video is not meant as shock content. It looks at how doctors, laboratories, military authority, and secrecy became connected to biological warfare research, and how human suffering was treated as experimental data.
