John Kerry on documentary on Sundance Channel

[FreedomAngel82]

If you've got the Sundance Channel try to see the documentary "Unfinished Symphony." It's about the Vietnam vets in 1971 protesting. They show John Kerry at the end! The next showing is at Wednesday at 6am est.

1. Thanks for the heads up

Is the documentary good? We get the channel. This may sound really dumb - but I just realized that the crummy TV guide from the cable company excludes many of the channels (including Sundance from their listings).

6. It's REALLY good

Basic real footage. Just them and a camera.

2. Thanks from me too.

I love the Sundance Channel, but never even heard of this film before.

Edited to add: that was the famous protest that this picture came from:

8. Oh, it's on August 24th?

So not for three weeks then. I didn't see it in my channel guide for this week when I looked.

3. Something else on the event

If historians remain unsure about who shot the first round on the Green in 1775, few question the fierce sense of injustice that propelled colonists to rebel against the Crown. If in the 1770s, as in the 1970s, most people wanted to respect law and order as part of a new country’s obligation to civic tranquility, moral outrage nevertheless propelled many good citizens into breaking their king’s laws. When Bostonians dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor in 1776, when local abolitionists hid fugitive slaves in the 1850s, New Englanders were proud to be breaking man’s laws for what they saw as a higher law. And when in 1971, in a gesture of solidarity with the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), many local citizens chose to break a town ordinance forbidding anyone to sleep on the sacred Green, the arrest that followed became the largest arrest in Massachusetts’ history...

4. I'll watch too

I've been finding more and more good things on Sundance since we started getting it this spring. Thanks for letting us know. :pals:

7. You're welcome

I first saw Kerry in the jail cell and at first I wasn't sure if it was him but then I recognized it was him and his facial features and they showed his Senate testimony. It was great. :D Every time Kerry opens his mouth it's like a poet language being spoken. I know it sounds silly but that's what it's like. It's like he carefully chooses his words to impact your life. Even if he's just saying "hello." :loveya: This is why I get so pissed off when anybody disses Kerry's war service and why I get so upset with those purple heart bandaid crap. And yes the Sundance channel has some GREAT docs. The "Control Room" is supposed to be on either tomorrow or Thursday. Be sure to look in the guide. Monday is doc day too and they show new docs and old docs. :D
