According to the ''Washington Post'', the film "focuses on Kerry's antiwar testimony to Congress in 1971 and its effect on American POWs in Vietnam." [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A22788-2004Oct10.html] Titled "[[Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal]]," the film is produced by [[Carlton Sherwood]], a former associate of [[Tom Ridge]], and includes interviews with former POWs who say their Vietnamese captors used Kerry's comments to undercut prisoner morale. The anti-Kerry organization, [[Swift Boat Veterans for Truth]], cross-promoted the film as part of a $1.4 million advertising campaign.

Sinclair's order to broadcast the film prompted criticism from [[John Lieberman]], Sinclair's lead political reporter. "It's biased political propaganda, with clear intentions to sway this election," Leiberman said. "I have nothing to gain here -- and really, I have a lot to lose," he said. "At the end of the day, though, all you really have is your credibility."
