This harrowing example of man’s cruelty to man occurred in April 1942, when 70,000 American and Filipino prisoners of the Japanese army, were forced to slog over 100 kilometres in five days, during the hottest season of the year, and with almost no food or water.
It was called a death march for a simple reason: if you stopped, you were killed. But there were many other ways to die in what was essentially a spree of arbitrary brutality. For sport, Japanese soldiers fractured skulls with their rifle butts. Japanese tanks ran over men who fell. Good Samaritans who tried to help fallen comrades were beaten or stabbed. Men were forced to bury others alive.
And Adolfo Alix Junior does not shy away from painting this bleakest of pictures.
Shot against hand-painted backdrops, with visceral close-ups of the actors’ faces, ‘Death March’ will be up against the likes of Sofia Coppola’s ‘The Bling Ring’ at Cannes this year.
For Alix Jr, whilst the film’s nomination is a great success, he is equally excited about the wave of recognition for Filipino productions in general: “What is important is you will be able to bring your film to a very good festival, so everything else is just a bonus. What is important for us now is to show that there is a movement that is coming from the Philippines, because in the past six years there have been a lot of Filipino films that have been screened in different festivals and we get a lot of good reviews.”
Contrasting starkly with the celebratory opulence of Cannes’ famous red carpet, ‘Death March’ is set to wow audiences at the festival…albeit in a very different way.

Wrong helmet. at the onset of World War-II the U.S. forces including Philippine forces in the USAFFE were wearing the World War-I dough helmets not this one with plastic liner inside and steel line outside, the steel liner can be used to cook and those are just plastic liners not for combat, for MP duty, it's got to have a steel liner on top and like I said not the helmet used at the start of the war. The helmets were also surrendered before the march, later on any head gear was not allowed so the scorching sun can torture them some more. When the Americans came back to liberate the Philippines some POW's couldn't recognize the new uniforms anymore, like in the raid of U.S. and allied POW camp in Cabanatuan, the rescuers wearing green fatigue and ranger caps made a POW ask if they were Yanks, this is because of the change in uniform when they came back. A historical movie but not historically accurate with the gears the soldiers are wearing. This is like with another documentary movie done by another young fellow about the Korean War, he was so excited talking, bragging about his movie on a TV promotion interview, where the Chinese soldiers using M-16 armalites. Yet some idiots had good criticism about the film, were Chinese soldiers are using M-16 in the korean war documentary movie, We still do not have M-16 when the Korean War started in the 1950's and this is a U.S. rifle, sickening, now this? ask your elders for accuracy and nowadays you do not have to ask elders we have internet now to research with accurate pictures and videos about the era, some with explanation and are colored.

this is lousy done. the uniforms of the American and Filipino soldiers were different up to the time when they were captured.

Wrong uniforms. In 1941-42, USAFFE forces were equipped with the Model 1917 helmets similar to those supplied to American and British troops during the First World War. The M1 helmets, such as those worn by the Filipino actors in this film, became standard issue much later; they were first seen in the Philippines being worn by American forces that returned to the country in 1944. The combat boots worn in this supposedly World War II period film look like the ones used by GIs in Vietnam.
