Synopsis

1931年「9.18事變」後，東北三省淪陷了。此時，正在上海積極從事抗日戲劇活動的田漢結識了東北流亡學生齊白山等人，並與這些熱血青年成為了朋友，共同投身於抗日救亡運動。「1.28」淞滬戰爭期間，田漢深感戲劇舞台不足以表現抗戰，在夏衍的號召下，田漢等人毅然拿起了攝影機，奔赴抗日前線拍攝紀錄片，紀錄了中國人民可歌可泣的英勇斗爭的畫面。在拍攝過程中，田漢不幸負傷。但他們用鮮血和生命拍出的紀錄片卻極大地鼓舞了上海文藝界的同仁和抗戰的軍民。

田漢、聶耳等文藝工作者以電影作為武器，創作並拍攝了一系列愛國電影，表現中國人民風起雲湧的抗戰。在此期間，田漢作詞、聶耳作曲的一大批愛國歌曲也不斷問世。
