April 5, 2013 Interview with Jan Thompson, filmmaker: “Never the Same, The Prisoner-of-War Experience” EntertainmentPodcastWWII Share this post: Jan Thompson, Professor of Radio-Television at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, is the producer of a new feature-length documentary, “Never The Same: The Prisoner of War Experience,” which is going to premiere this Saturday (April 6) in Chicago, at the Gene Siskel Film Center. The timing of the premiere is great, as April 9 is the anniversary of the Bataan Death March. I am very excited about this film, as I have been long been personally involved in this part of the WWII Asia-Pacific history. Jan Thompson from Chicago Tribune article Jan’s documentary features narration by Emmy Award-winning actress Loretta Swit (“Hot Lips” of MASH fame), and the voices of an all-star cast of actors including Alec Baldwin, Ed Asner, Jamie Farr, Mike Farrell, Robert Loggia, Kathleen Turner, Robert Wagner and Sam Waterston. The film celebrates and commemorates “courageous men who used ingenuity, creativity and humor to survive one of the most notorious times in history,” said Thompson, whose late father was a POW after his capture on Corregidor (like my grandfather — see my Facebook page in his memory) in the spring of 1942.

Ed Green, Ormond Beach, Florida September 18, 2014 at 7:03 pm My uncle Joe was a part of the “Death March” and was held prisoner by the Japanese until the war’s end. Therefore, I am intensely interested in Jan’s documentary. How can I purchase a copy of the film for my own use? My uncle passed away some years ago, but, I still have some of the newspaper articles about his imprisonment. Additionally, I discussed from time to time, my uncle Joe’s recollections of the march and the hell ships.
