Going Upriver - The Long War of John Kerry (2004) Review

I thought I was going to see a narrow, but pro-Kerry view of John Kerry's service. What I got was much more and much better. I was reminded so vividly of the times, moral struggles, and strong feelings many of us had in the late 60's and especially early 70's. The friendships that were strained or ended because of differences over the VietNam war came back to me as I watched this incredible movie. The footage was amazing. The context was carefully laid out. The result is a thoroughly engaging movie. I came away with an admiration for the courage of John Kerry to speak out and awe at his articulateness at such a young age. One could not doubt his sincerity and commitment even if one did not agree with his decision to speak out against the Viet Nam war. The gentle, yet solid, way the filmmaker and editor pulled together years of events and many voices is what makes this documentary so much more convincing than Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. You should not feel afraid to invite your Republican friends to see this with you.

Going Upriver - The Long War of John Kerry (2004) Overview

Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry is an extraordinary inside look at Character and moral leadership during a time of national crisis. Loosely based on Douglas Brinkley's best-selling book Tour Of Duty, this incredibly intimate film delves into the life of John Kerry and focuses on 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.
Acclaimed director George Butler (Pumping Iron, The Endurance: Schackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition) has known Senator Kerry since 1964 and in 1969 began photographing him, in an effort to document his life and career. Using his unique collection of images, the film weaves together Butler's photography with archival material, interviews with Kerry's closest associates as well as contemporary footage of him at home and abroad. More than a biography of John Kerry, Going Upriver is the story of an American generation that came of age in the tumultuous '60s and that has now come to national leadership at the beginning of a new century - when issues of war and morality once again hold center stage.
