A new documentary exposes the harrowing story of the six Chinese mariners who survived Titanic but were vilified in the press and deported from the US just days after the sinking.
Filmmakers Arthur Jones and Steven Schwankert have made The Six, which debuted in Chinese cinemas this week, to tell the little-known story of eight third-class Chinese passengers on the ship.
After the sinking, two of the men died, five escaped the ship on lifeboats, and a sixth, Fang Lang, survived after he was found clinging to a wooden plank in the middle of the ocean.
