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. 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. Link TV presents excerpts from this film. To purchase the film or download the, 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 present a segment of this film.
