"Gochin" ('Attack to Sink!') was made by Nichiei, under the supervision of Watanabe Yoshimi, and released in 1944. It is a fiction film with documentary footage interlarded, as per common Japanese propaganda film practice throughout the war.

"Three photography teams were sent with three submarines respectively, sallying forth to the Indian Ocean. They recorded the sinking of an enemy ship by torpedoes, the questioning of rescued prisoners, the rise to the surface at night for the bombardment of an enemy tanker that had not been completely sunk by torpedoes..." etc.

After the great success of the Pearl Harbor attack, and the absence of much good propaganda footage from this operation, the Imperial Navy decided to "board a whole camera crew in a narrow submarine for 'Attack to Sink'; it is clear that the military authorities gradually recognized the propagandistic power of film."

The film critic Jay Leyda, writing on "Gochin" noted that it was "filmed almost entirely in a Japanese submarine during a hunting cruise, a camera feat I have never seen equalled."

from Ryusuke :

More information from Japanese source:
1) On July 22, 1943, I-10 sank Norwegian ALCIDES (7634 tons) and captured a man. The scene can be seen in "Gochin".
2) In the movie, there's a scene that I-10 sinks Norwegian tanker BRAMORA (6361 tons) on September 14, 1943. But the scene in the submarine is not of I-10, but of I-38 at harbor, according to the interview with ex-I-25 crew in 1989.
3) The movie was taken in the 59 days operation from September 2 to October 30 in 1943.
4) Most of the scenes were taken in I-162 and I-165. (Japanese submarine perfect guide by Gakken)
