...Their voices mattered, I can finally hear them.’” With this emphasis on loyalty to the actual events—as well as to the men they affected—the screenplay draws from the documented testimonies of the defendants. Van Devere does not depict the frequent parties the group held in Perkins 28, nor the suicide of one of the trial’s targets, Dental School student Eugene R. Cummings. “I decided that recreating those events would be false, whereas the testimony is right there, ready for exposure...
...film “The Queen,” which depicted the royal family in the aftermath of Princess Diana’s death, director Stephen Frears proved that a movie could successfully depict current political leaders in an intimate way.

Or will they agree with McCain, who wants to depict Obama as an out-of-touch elitist? In the end, it may come down to religion. The city is heavily Catholic, and in a recent Quinnipiac poll Obama trailed McCain statewide among Catholic voters, 36% to 51%. Obama also trailed McCain among all voters in northeastern Pennsylvania (39% to 50%). The pollsters, however, began conducting the poll before Obama put Biden, a Catholic, on the ticket.
