Upper Left covers the culture beat

How about a movie review?

Last night, it was my pleasure to host a group of veterans at Upper Left World Headquarters for a screening of Brothers In Arms, the documentary feature about John Kerry (big suprise, huh?) and his Navy swift boat crew from Vietnam.

No matter what your political predilictions are this year, if you have any interest in Vietnam war history, or just compelling personal stories, if an opportunity to see this film comes your way, take advantage of it. It's well made, blending interview footage with archival film and stills covering the thirty year saga of the crew's service and subsequent reunion.

Fair warning, though. It's also going to expose you to some pretty compelling information about John Kerry's character and personality. I can tell you that no one left undecided last night.
