(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.”
