Movie Haiku:Sympathetic portrayal of John Kerry's early life, especially the college & Vietnam years, plus his leadership in the anti-war movement. Interviews with people who actually knew him at each stage are counter-pointed with vivid historical footage, culminating in his eloquent testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971.
