Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004)

Yes - I know it's election-year propaganda…but it's hard to argue with what's covered here. This is the story of a war hero who becomes disenfranchised with the war once he comes home and gets some perspective. He's then brave enough to be a leader in the Veterans Against the War movement. Fascinating stuff.

Fahrenheit 9/11 made me wary of Bush…Going Upriver made me comfortable with Kerry as a leader. If the purpose of putting this together was to win votes for Kerry, it did its job on me.
