The march you are referring to is known as the Bataan Death March. It occurred in April 1942, when approximately 75,000 Filipino and American troops were forced to march about 65 miles under brutal conditions after their surrender to Japanese forces during World War II. Many prisoners suffered from physical abuse, starvation, and dehydration, leading to thousands of deaths along the route. The event remains a significant symbol of the hardships faced by soldiers during the war.
