(PRWEB) March 1, 2005 -- The Wounded Warrior, a documentary produced by X-Back Pictures relates President Abraham Lincolns Vision of Freedom to the actions promoting freedom by current U.S. President George W. Bush.
The film factually proves that Lincoln was the first President to lay down the doctrine of spreading freedom throughout the world as a means for our national defense. The doctrine known and revived today as the ‘Bush Doctrine. By a strange twist of destiny, Lincoln expressed this thought on September 11th, 1858. The docu-drama also shows that Lincoln was one of the most despised presidents, falsely accused of stealing elections, dividing and dragging the country in a war over economy and tariffs and proclaimed a social tyrant who violated the Constitution and civil liberties.
Director Yervand Kochar, the grandson of the highly-acclaimed, yet persecuted (by Communist regime), Armenian artist, Yervand Kochar Sr. was disappointed at his documentary being denied an audience at the Big Muddy Film Festival sponsored in part by the Illinois Arts Council and the Department of Cinema and Photography of Southern Illinois University and taking place throughout Carbondale, Illinois, and Western Kentucky.
The director believes that it was the message of the movie that caused the rejection of the film by the festival and not its artistic merit.
I feel the real issue is that the majority of film festivals that are supposed to create an environment for young talent to blossom are in reality creating repressive constraints, says Mr. Kochar. They put themselves in a position to evaluate an art form; yet, they dismiss anything that doesnt suit their ideology. Since festivals are pretty much the only venue for many young filmmakers to launch their careers, filmmakers conform their movies to topics, which they know will be accepted by the festival organizers."
Artistically, this movie is the first time that the directors grandfather's revolutionary 'painting in space' style, so admired by Picasso, has been translated into film and as such the movie is already generating buzz for its innovative style.
Mr. Kochar finishes by stating, I encourage any organization in Carbondale, Illinois, or in the vicinity to screen The Wounded Warrior. A movie like The Wounded Warrior is a truthful film that has to be seen. Take the initiative of building your culture and do not yield it to people who speak of freedom but mean slavery."
