*****************************

"Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry" is a documentary, directed and
produced by George Butler, that chronicles Kerry's service in the Navy
during the Vietnam War and his activism against the war upon his return.
But it is more than simply a biography of Kerry; "Going Upriver" documents
a generation of Americans who were affecting by the Vietnam War and how
those issues have resurfaced today.

Sinclair Broadcasting has ordered 40 of its 62 stations, including the
Champaign station WICD, to air a special news program entitled "A POW
Story." In this "news" program, a portion of an anti-Kerry documentary,
"Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," will be included despite its
obvious bias towards the upcoming presidential elections. In an effort to
give citizens a chance to hear fair and balanced coverage that the
mainstream media has yet to offer, the Illinois Disciples Foundation has
chosen to show an alternative to "A POW Story."

DISCLAIMER: By showing this film, the Illinois Disciples Foundation is in
no way endorsing John Kerry or any other candidate for president of the
United States.

The University YMCA is cosponsoring this event and has graciously offered
their projector to show the film.

**The IDF is a pioneering peace with justice campus ministry, located at
the NW corner of Springfield and Wright St. in Champaign. Wisegarver
Lounge is located on the first floor of the building and is wheelchair
