The images are real. It's from a series called THE WAR by Ken Burns.
Death March: April 9, 1942 - April 17, 1942. People are still alive from those days, their minds etched by the atrocities they witnessed.
The War, a seven-part series directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, tells the story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of a handful of men and women from four quintessentially American towns. The series explores the most intimate human dimensions of the greatest cataclysm in history — a worldwide catastrophe that touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America — and demonstrates that in extraordinary times, there are no ordinary lives.
The film honors the bravery, endurance, and sacrifice of the generation of Americans who lived through what will always be known simply as The War.

The film highlights the brutality of the Japanese and the simple and cruel things they did to Americans who were captured and made to walk through dangerous terrain and eat food laced with worms and maggots.

And of course in the present moment Hurricane Ida is flooding different parishes of Louisiana.

Signing off to a very difficult world.
