In the sunset of John McCain’s 60-year service to the nation — first in the Navy and then in the United States Senate —filmmakers Peter, Teddy and George Kunhardt were granted extraordinary access to the senator and his family last summer as he started down the hardest road of his life so far: battling stage 4 brain cancer.
“He is the Republican lion of the senate,” Teddy Kunhardt tells PEOPLE before his almost two-hour documentary, John McCain: For Whom the Bell Tolls, debuts May 28 on HBO.
The filmmakers found everyone from Barack Obama to George W. Bush to longtime friend Joe Biden extremely eager to make time to pay tribute to McCain on camera. And while much has been made about the deep bonds between McCain, Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman, filmmakers were surprised to discover a real warmth between McCain and 2016 democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
“She genuinely loves this guy and thinks the world of him,” says George Kunhardt. “They both lit up when we discussed them with each other. They both genuinely love each other. It was a very emotional and touching thing from our point of view.”

Deserve each other.....
Ewwww. Is all I can think.
Re: John McCain, the Republican Lion of the Senate.
The author is invoking Ted Kennedy, and saying this as praise.
My interpretation is different.
Deserve each other
I believe it. Either his cancer turned him into a lunatic, or it made him reveal his true nature.
McCain may have the capacity to love, but Hillary is a sociopath; I don’t think they are able to love.

Saw this the other day. It's John McCain's reading enemy propaganda for broadcast.
Supposedly "lost" for nearly 50 years.
Talk about spying on campaigns.
You’ll never dissuade me that McCain has been a Democrat all along and working for them as a counter op.
Whoever posted Natalie Portman’s headlights, thanks for the distraction from this story about two genuinely awful people.
Nipples always make me feel better.

Always remember, he was the deciding vote against repeal of the socialist Obamacare. There are many other examples of his votes against conservatism. I'll leave it up to others to list them.
Good frickin’ grief!!! Why is he dragging his death out so long? Is he really dying?
What is this sickening attempt to make John McCain into some great national hero? All he’s EVER been is a lousy Senator and failed candidate for President.
A special issue of “Time” titled “JOHN McCAIN - AMERICAN HERO!,” edicts from the Great Man himself on which Presidents he wants at his funeral and which one he doesn’t (why does he deserve any of them AT ALL?!), his “brave” no-holds-barred ( = anti-Trump) book and now some fawning HBO documentary? It’s like a plot between Camp McCain and the leftist media to present him as some kind unassailable hero while daring us to criticize him.
Okay. I’ll bite. He’s a complete, disgraceful asshole and the quicker he dies the happier I’ll be.
Happy now, media?
feomm = from. More covfefe!
