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.
