The film focuses on the internationally significant historical event of the sinking of the Lisbon Maru during World War II, offering a panoramic portrayal of the resilience of the Chinese people and the warmth of international humanitarian aid behind the incident. As one of the few recent documentary films to highlight international issues on the Eastern Front of World War II, the film offers a perspective through the eyes of ordinary people witnessing grand history. It allows the audience to experience the cruelty of war and the preciousness of peace through the individual fates portrayed.

Premiering on September 6th, 2024, the film achieved remarkable success, grossing 47.459 million yuan at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing domestic documentary of the year in mainland China. It also garnered a high rating of 9.3 on Douban, a famous Chinese film rating site. In 2025, the film was released in multiple cities across the United Kingdom, receiving widespread acclaim. Many British viewers were moved not only by the film's authentic portrayal of the suffering experienced by Allied prisoners of war but also by the bravery of Chinese fishermen who risked their lives to rescue others. The film also earned praise for Fang Li's dedication in preserving this piece of history over the course of eight years.
