I thought I had read on here several days ago that there is. If so, what is the name and when does it come out? Thanks. ;-)

1. Yes,

The movie was screened at the Toronto Film Festival

Other Toronto films with political overtones include the documentary "Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry," examining how his Vietnam experiences and subsequent stand against the war shaped the presidential candidate's outlook...

Many observers noted it is appropriate that the Kerry Vietnam doc "Going Upriver" is preeming in Canada, given the country's reputation as a hotbed for anti-Vietnam War protest. ThinkFilm, which is launching the pic in the U.S. Oct. 1, hopes the doc will become an important part of the bitter debate over Kerry's Vietnam tour of duty.

The pic chronicles how Kerry went from being a decorated war hero in Vietnam to a high-profile antiwar activist after his return from duty. It is a sympathetic portrait of Kerry, which will clearly not endear the pic to Bush supporters.
