U.S. Newswire : Releases : “Conference Call Today: Investors to Present Sinclair…”
Deborah Rappaport will discuss her offer to the Sinclair Broadcasting Group to purchase time to air the highly regarded film “Going Upriver; The Long War of John Kerry,” as a balance to the broadcasting of an anti-John Kerry film, which Sinclair is planning to air on its 62 television stations.
Investors and philanthropists Andrew and Deborah Rappaport of Redwood City, CA, have contacted the Baltimore-based chain, seeking to inject fair play into its plan to show a 42-minute film called “Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal.”
“KERRY’S APOCALYPSE NOW! Butler can be a powerful storyteller. What stares you in the face is the anquish and grief of men who put their lives in the line of fire for a government that undertook a pointless war, mismanaged it, kept it going out of hubris and then abandoned it. Watch this and try not to weep.”

“ANYONE WHO SEES GOING UPRIVER will find it hard to argue that what happened close to 35 years ago no longer matters in America today.”

“IT’S A MOVIE MUCH LIKE ITS SUBJECT: passionate but deliberate, avoiding sensation but DETERMINED TO TELL THE FULL, TRUE STORY.”
