Stolen Honor is a 45-minute video documentary, produced by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and decorated Vietnam veteran Carlton Sherwood. The video documentary was released in September 2004. It features interviews with a number of American men who were prisoners of war in North Vietnam and who contend that they suffered increased maltreatment as prisoners directly as a result of John Kerry's Fulbright Hearing testimony in April 1971. Stolen Honor is a project of an independent film agency, Red, White and Blue Productions.

Mark Nevins, a spokeman for the Kerry presidential campaign, stated: "This group is the poor, distant cousin of the Swift Boat Veterans for Bush. It?s comprised of people with questionable backgrounds whose sole mission in life is to smear John Kerry."

According to conservative commentator Deroy Murdock: "It presents POWs who argue that John Kerry's fallacious spring 1971 claims that U.S. atrocities occurred 'on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command' amplified their agony under America's North Vietnamese enemies."

The production company's website states that "Stolen Honor investigates how John Kerry?s actions during the Vietnam era impacted the treatment of American soldiers and POWs. Using John Kerry?s own words, the documentary juxtaposes John Kerry?s actions with the words of veterans who were still in Vietnam when John Kerry was leading the anti-war movement."

Some observers note that Sherwood has longstanding Republican ties. He previously worked for former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge. Some time later, as Secretary of Homeland Security, Ridge awarded Sherwood a federal contract to create a government sponsored anti-terrorism website; firstresponder.gov.

While Sherwood shared in a group Pulitzer for investigation of a fund-raising scandal involving a Vatican cover-up, the neutrality of his reportage has been questioned. In 1992 the PBS program Frontline examined Sherwood's book Inquisition, which claimed to be an independent investigation of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. During that investigation, a letter surfaced in which James Gavin, an aide to Reverend Moon, stated that he had reviewed the book before publication, and suggested revisions that Sherwood had promised he would incorporate before the final manuscript went to the publisher. Sherwood had previously worked for the Washington Times, owned by Moon and the Unification Church.
