Such is the legacy of now Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry according to 17 former POWs interviewed in Stolen Honor, which premiered at the festival. Three of the POWs attended the screening and were treated to a well-deserved standing ovation both before and after. In the film, they state unequivocally that John Kerry’s 1971 testimony before the U. S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee (in which he accused American soldiers in Vietnam of being ''war criminals'') was used by their communist captors to torture them further. Actual recordings of the testimony were played to POWs in order to taunt and weaken them into confession. Footage of one such prisoner, Navy pilot Jeremiah Denton, shows him blinking the Morse code for ''torture'' with his eyes.

Produced by Red, White and Blue Productions and narrated by its president, investigative reporter and Vietnam veteran Carlton Sherwood, the documentary’s impact was all the more immediate with the upcoming election at hand. What these POWs withheld in order to avoid giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies, Kerry offered without ceremony. And his 1970 meeting with the North Vietnamese delegations in Paris only furthered the damage. That such a man could be America’s next president is a frightening prospect indeed.Other luminaries of the 1960’s anti-war movement such as activist Tom Hayden, actress Jane Fonda, and folksinger Joan Baez are also in the film. One former POW describes having to stand for 96 hours in his cell at the ''Hanoi Hilton'' while outside he could see Tom Hayden meeting with his jailers. Archival footage actually shows Joan Baez at one of the camps, singing and playing guitar while American POWs are forced to listen. POWs were also forced to meet with Jane Fonda, who later declared their treatment humane and the American war effort lost. The fact that Kerry’s photo is included in Ho Chi Minh City's Protestors Hall of the War Remnants Museum and Fonda’s in the Women’s Museum in Saigon speaks volumes. If actions such as these don’t constitute treason, then what does?
