    A Strong Parallel Between Lincoln and Bush is Shown in a New Documentary

    March 1 2005

    The Wounded Warrior, a documentary produced by X-Back Pictures
    relates President Abraham Lincoln's Vision of Freedom to the actions
    promoting freedom by current U.S. President George W. Bush.

    (PRWEB) March 1, 2005 -- The Wounded Warrior, a documentary produced
    by X-Back Pictures relates President Abraham Lincoln's 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 doesn't 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 director's
    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."
