NY Times reviews "Stolen Honor"
The New York Times > Arts > Television > TV Review | 'Stolen Honor': An Outpouring of Pain, Channeled via Politics
Saying that the film can't do much damage to Kerry's reputation after all the other things that have been said about him, the reviewer says it should be shown nationwide; not for what it says about Kerry, but because of "... the real subject of the film: the veterans' unheeded feelings of betrayal and neglect."
Of course, the film is also accused of being riddled with inaccuracy and falsehood. Overmuch is made of a lawsuit against the producers by a man whose face is on screen when the narration speaks of Winter Soldier participants being coached to lie. Mr. Campbell (the plaintiff) may be owed an apology if, as he says, he urged participants not to embellish, but the reviewer fails to mention the Pitkin affidavit where he testifies under oath about the way John Kerry personally fed him lies to repeat for the cameras.
