Kurt Vonnegut was part of era of American writers forged by the horror of World War II. Vonnegut chose quirky humor and plain speaking to tell stories but above all he was passionate about writing. This doc, his story is definitely worth a watch. vonnegutmovie.com
Director Robert B. Weide (Curb Your Enthusiasm) inserts his friendship and life into the film. We realize that this is not a work of dispassionate observation and analysis but it works. It is depressing how few of Vonneguts appearances and speeches can be found online.
In the interviews available on line, Vonnegut is candid and entertaining. But the doc's discovery of hundreds of old films and interviews in the doc shows us America doesn't really preserve and honor their cultural icons well.

One missing historical link in the current Ukraine conflict are the modern version of our WW2 era "Jedburgh's". Men and women dropped in behind enemy lines to support, coordinate and train resistance forces. Ukraine is at that point of need.
Remember part of what Trump was trying to withhold from Ukraine? 37 Javelin launchers and 210 missiles. They work magnificently against invading armored columns.
Trump was told that Putin supported his election, wanted out of NATO, wanted our troops out of Europe and initially wanted to lift sanctions on Russia. It is surprising that Putin didn't attack Ukraine during Trump's time in office. nytimes.com/2019/01/14/us/…
