John McCain Documentary Production Begins: HBO Receives Special Access
Breitbart ^ | 17 Apr 2018 | y MICHELLE MOONS

Posted on 04/17/2018 4:18:22 PM PDT by ethom

Senator John McCain agreed after being diagnosed with brain cancer, to give HBO special access for a documentary on his life. Work has now begun on the television film, HBO announced on Monday.

Six-time Emmy award-winner Peter Kunhardt is set to produce and direct the documentary and is working with his Emmy-winning sons George and Teddy Kunhardt, according to Deadline.com.

The film, as of press time, is untitled and no premiere date has been set. Filmmakers are being given an exclusive look into McCain’s life both in Washington, D.C. and back home in Sedona, Arizona. The report listed family, friends, and political figures as those who will appear in interviews for the film.

McCain was diagnosed with a brain tumor, a glioblastoma last year. News broke of the tumor and its removal last July. HBO revealed that McCain agreed to the documentary shortly after the diagnosis. He has been resting at his home in Arizona for months while still holding his Senate seat and directing other Senators back in Washington. On Tuesday, McCain’s office revealed that he underwent surgery for an intestinal infection at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona.

The longtime elected Republican official from Arizona has faced criticism over his record in office. He has maintained close relationships with officials on the other side of the aisle and repeatedly involved himself in foreign affairs. One of his most recent votes created upheaval when he walked down the Senate floor and gestured a disapproving thumbs-down vote against a “skinny” version of Obama-care repeal and huddled up with Democrats on the Senate floor. McCain’s was the deciding vote to kill the bill.

The upcoming film will also feature home movies and photographs that have never been seen publicly before.

Did Vietnam turn them down because they don’t want to be associated with radical communists?

Can’t this creep get on with dying already? You’d think his death was being held up in committee on a procedural vote or something.

Wow, who cares....

The only thing I want to see is Linda Graham pushing McCain wheel chair leading the neocon congressional forces when they drop into Syria to kill Assad...

I wonder if they are going to shine a light on McSlime's ISIS buds?

How close are these buds? McTreason did not need his security detail to run safe interference for him.

Now, now. You "are talking" about one of the few Vietnam-era, Cold War (Soviet) aces.

John McCain - all by himself! - got shot down in, burned up, blew up, crashed, or ejected from FIVE US Navy planes!

My guess is the North Vietnamese handed him over to (a) Russian GRU or KGB officer(s) who was (were) probably quite cruel.

Seems McCain has been looking for payback; even if it destroys the world.

I’m actually sympathetic, if he was tortured by such. But not to the point of World War IV.

Don’t forget the one with Chris Stevens in Libya.

Seems to me to indicate, yes, there was something else going on there.

So Hillary and company let them die.

Showtime’s Anthony Weiner comeback documentary is too good not to miss.

They were there covering his political comeback in the New York mayor race.

And caught the Carlos Danger scandal from the beginning. You can’t stop laughing.

“McCain was diagnosed with a brain tumor...”

What, no spoiler alert?
