I watched the HBO documentary McCain: For Whom the Bell Tolls last summer, months before he passed. The documentary is a sentimental tribute and only briefly looks at him from a critical perspective. Straight line story from the torture he endured in Vietnam to his final days as senator voicing some resistance to Trump. There are interviews with him at his home as he struggles with the brain cancer that he knows it terminal. In spite of resenting how un-critical it was, I was quite moved and teary at the end.
