inserita nel contesto...

approaching, coupled with the fact that a great deal of misinformation

broadcasting corporation, we wanted to remind visitors to 
remhq.com
 of
George Butler's brilliant documentary film Going Upriver: The Long War
of John Kerry which recently debuted in select theatres across the
country. We urge you to encourage others to visit 
goingupriverdvd.com
to watch a 9 minute featurette of the film and to see an interview
with Michael Stipe in which he discusses the importance of voting and
the inclusion in the film of the title track to R.E.M.'s new record.

GOING UPRIVER PREMIERE
Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry the feature length
documentary about the Democratic nominee opens in theaters across the
United States on Friday, October 1. 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.
The film traces Kerry’s early life as a young man who chooses to
enlist in the Navy and to go to Vietnam. The film reveals intimate,
first person accounts of Kerry’s war service through his own private
letters, his eloquent journal, and the vivid memories of the men who
served at his side. When Kerry came home disillusioned by the war, he
and his fellow Vietnam Veterans challenged Congress and the Nixon
administration. As Kerry became a nationally known anti-war activist,
the Nixon White House plotted to discredit his leadership, but
significantly could find “nothing on him,” as Colson reveals via
Watergate tapes. Despite Nixon’s attempt to undermine John Kerry’s
political career during his 1972 unsuccessful run for US Congress,
Kerry persevered, eventually winning election to the Senate and
receiving the Democratic nomination for president in 2004.
