Just about to start check out the link.

Tuesday, October 26 8:00 PM

Normally this is a radically leftist broadcaster so I don't know what to expect.

http://www.worldlinktv.org/programming/programDescription.php4?code=films1

The first of a series of special Link TV Spotlight presentations that shows segments of important political films, documentaries, ads and PSAs that you should see before you vote. Link TV brings you analysis of films that most American TV channels have chosen to not broadcast.

We launch the series with two films that have been in the news quite often in recent days. Much has been written about the Sinclair Broadcast Group’s decision to pre-empt one of its regular shows to show the anti-Kerry documentary Stolen Honor—Wounds that Never Heal to 62 markets. Yet, many of the pundits who have written about this controversy along with most of the American people, have not yet seen the documentary. In contrast to the Sinclair Broadcast Group which broadcast Stolen Honor without context or commentary, Link TV Spotlight host and political commentator Mark Hertsgaard investigates the truth and connections behind this powerful, yet polemical film. After showing a segment of the film, he offers analysis and expert commentary regarding the film’s central argument, namely that John Kerry was a traitor who imperiled the lives of POWs in Vietnam by his congressional testimony. To purchase or download the film, please go link to www.stolenhonor.com.

In the second half of the program, Hertsgaard analyzes Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry, a feature length documentary about character and moral leadership during a time of national crisis. Loosely based on the best-selling book Tour of Duty by Douglas Brinkley, Going Upriver examines the story of John Kerry and the key events that made him a national figure and the man he is today. The film places particular emphasis on his bravery during the Vietnam War and his courageous opposition to the war upon his return. Link TV will also show a segment of this film. Click here to view a streamed trailer. Click here to view an introductory clip: Kerry before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, 1971. Click here to view an introductory clip: Nixon's "Get Kerry" campaign. For more information, and to purchase or download the film, please visit www.goingupriver.com.

Films from a Conservative Perspective
American Film Renaissance presents film summaries and links to movies that share president Regan's sentiment in his 1989 farewell address: "The movies celebrated democratic values and implicitly reinforced the idea that America was special...[But] for those who create the popular culture, well-grounded patriotism is no longer the style. We've got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom...freedom is special and rare. It's fragile, it needs protection."

Thus far I'm blown away by the film and ........ disgusted/ammused by the 'link' comentary.

The film uses nothing but primary first hand sources.

The leftist cometary makes nothing but assertions with absolutly zero data to back them up.
