In April of 2002, Winnercomm producers traveled to the Philippines with 12 Death March survivors and their families; the resulting footage provides a haunting narrative of the atrocities endured by the American and Filipino soldiers as they journeyed from the initial surrender to the prison camps to the “hell ships” that would end in their enslavement or death at sea. It is estimated that more than 40,000 American and Filipino soldiers met a brutal death from the time of the surrender on Bataan in April of 1942 until the war’s end in 1945. The documentary also chronicles the ultimate liberation of Bataan and the return home of the survivors, many of whom rarely spoke of their experiences until now. Aired on The Discovery Channel and The Military Channel in August 2005. Released in conjunction with the theatrical release of "The Great Raid," a Miramax film. Mark Consuelos, one of the stars of the film, narrated Ghosts of Bataan.
