I got a press release this morning about the new website for Body of War, otherwise known as “the Phil Donahue doc“, otherwise know as one of the most highly anticipated of the many highly political films set to debut at the Toronto Film Festival. Unfortunately, it looks like I won’t be in town when it makes its debut — the premiere (which will apparently involve a live performance of songs from the film by Eddie Vedder) is on September 11, and I’m leaving on the 10th. I can stand to miss the Vedder, but I am disappointed that I won’t be able to see the movie or Donohue’s sure-to-be impassioned Q & A.
The website has pictures, a full synopsis and a trailer (embedded in a lesser-quality YouTube version above), which features one of the two songs Vedder wrote for the movie.
