This is a clip from the interview part of Home Tree Media's, 2009, DVD film, Death March from Bataan to Manchuria: Raising a Survivor's Voice, a Jean K. Bruce film.

Do you know about the largest American army in history forced to surrender? Although fighting with outdated weapons and low supplies Americans, Filipinos, and other American allies, fought the Japanese hard. Most of the Americans and allies kept hope that liberation would happen, if only they could hold ground. General Douglas MacArthur pulled out, however, leaving more than 70,000 American allies, Filipinos and Americans abandoned on Bataan.

The Japanese took their prisoners on a forced march. Shockingly, the surviving POWs would have to march more than sixty miles with no food, very little water, through scorching heat and abuse. Somewhere between 5,000 and 11,000 POWs failed to make it to Camp O'Donnell, where the POWs would endure more terror.

How did the POWs survive? Our newest film supplies resource material, for teachers; use Death March from Bataan to Manchuria: Raising a Survivors Voice along with a free discrepant event lesson on the Web site: http://web.me.com/eteach2/Site_2/FREE_Lesson.html

You gain more insight about critical thinking skills, survival skills, and Red Allen's story of Bataan and Manchuria, when you watch and listen to Reds story in the DVD movie: Death March from Bataan to Manchuria: Raising a Survivors Voice, by Home Tree Media, in association with Professor William C. Bruce.

Our goals for this presentation, about the DVD film Death March from Bataan to Manchuria: Raising a Survivors Voice, are to tell the story. We hope to bridge information about the Bataan Death March, the POW slave labor in Manchuria during WWII, and to assemble information about discrepant event lessons.

We believe in discrepant event lessons; they're often the best way to increase thinking skills, learn content, evaluate, and apply learning, all in one, wrapped together.
