Kirby: You just reminded me: Why We Fight was aired on CBC Television last week and I missed it!! Why? Because I was watching The Corporation (another documentary) on TVO, another Canadian network.
Question (even though I think I know the answer): Do documentaries like this ever air on the main US networks?
