This is an excellent documentary on the American and Philippine defenders who resisted the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in World war II. Tragically ... shamefully, for months they fought heroically without reinforcements or supplies due to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Europe First" policy. He even ordered General Douglas MacArthur to escape to Australia while Major General Edward P. King "surrendered" the 75,000 Americans to the Japanese. It's after this surrender that the heart wrenching "Death March" took place. The sacrifice and suffering these men endured is told in bold detail through film footage and first-person accounts from fifteen survivors. This DVD is a "must have" for any WWII history buff. I rated it 4 stars only because it should have been an hour long instead of 30 minutes. Today it seems everyone in the armed services is called a "hero." This film introduces you to real Heroes in every sense of the word.
