They were prepared to die for America. Why won't we acknowledge they exist? Tracing back to 1942, thousands of Filipino and American prisoners of war were force-marched on a 65-mile course from Mariveles to San Fernando, and from the Capas Train Station to various camps. Many prisoners have lost their lives to starvation, disease, and wanton killings. Unfortunately, the Bataan Death March ended with only 54,000 survivors reaching the camp. The long march has ended but the survivors' fight for rights and benefits is still in motion even after more than 80 years. This coming April 14, 2023, witness "A Long March", the riveting and heartfelt documentary by T.S Botkin following the Filipino-American veterans' as they emotionally trace their paths from war to erasure by the U.S. Government in search of broken promises. The virtual screening is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. PDT followed by a Q&A portion with filmmaker T.S. Botkin at 4:30 p.m. PDT, moderated by Prof. Jennifer Derilo, Prof. Kirin Macapugay, Prof. Judy Patacsil, and Jhelen Ramirez -- all descendants of survivors of the Bataan Death March and WWII Veterans. This is a free screening event presented by the San Diego Community College District in partnership with San Diego Filipino Cinema.

Program: Claude Debussy: Prélude à “L'après-midi d'un faune” (Prelude to “Afternoon of a Faun”) Claude Debussy: Fantaisie for Piano and Orchestra Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 4 in G Major From the San Diego Sympyony: Revel in two amazing pieces by the French composer Claude Debussy. The first, Prelude to "Afternoon of a Faun," made his international reputation for its unashamed sensuality and dreamy delicacy. The second, Fantaisie for Piano and Orchestra, is remarkable for its lushness, unlike anything else the composer wrote. And who better than the amazing pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet to be at the keyboard? Then Rafael Payare will be on the podium for Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, which abounds in gorgeously colorful melodies that range from child-like innocence to deep explorations of the human soul.
