When documentary filmmaker George Butler met John Kerry in 1964, he had a vision that the lanky chairman of Yale's political union would one day become president of the United States.

"Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry" is Butler's 11th-hour shot at pushing his buddy over the top, a journey into the jungle that turned the Democratic nominee from earnest Swift Boat skipper into the disillusioned spokesman for the Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

Butler has said that not since Teddy Roosevelt has there been an American political figure with a personal story as compelling as Kerry's.
