Following the death of US Republican Senator John McCain, SBS will repeat the documentary McCain tomorrow afternoon at 3:30pm.
VICELAND will also screen this at 6:30pm on Saturday.
An exploration of Senator John McCain’s complicated relationship with President Trump and the Republican Party, as well as his life and politics. Drawing on both a collection of new interviews and a deep archive of reporting, the film traces the conservative standard-bearer’s motivations and his political history – from his experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, to speaking out against torture during the Bush administration, to his dramatic vote against the GOP’s health care bill last year. The film also examines how, with his 2008 nomination of Sarah Palin as running mate, McCain
himself contributed to a growing challenge to the party’s establishment. In the news recently over his staunch refusal to allow Trump to attend his funeral, this is a timely portrait of a divisive figure of modern American politics.

Senator McCain is not the ‘divisive’ figure, it’s that troll Trump, the one who had the gall to mock McCain’s war service and courage whilst ‘Cadet Bonespurs’ stayed home in NYC..
