This film can be incorporated into a larger study of World War II, specifically the Pacific theatre. With the war in Europe winding down, Canada now focuses its attention on defeating Japan in the Far East. Students can also study and discuss the film's purpose, its intended audience, its often fearful tone, its use of graphic images, and the frequent use of racist language to describe the Japanese.
