RANGELEY — In honor of Veterans Day, Rangeley Friends of the Arts will present the award-winning documentary “Vietnam, Long Time Coming” at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4, at the RFA Lakeside Theater.

Admission is $5, and proceeds will benefit RFA youth arts programs. Veterans receive free admission and concessions.

In 1998, World T.E.A.M. (The Exceptional Athlete Matters) Sports organized a 16-day 1,100-mile bicycle expedition through once war-torn northern and southern Vietnam. It drew an array of veterans from the U.S. and Vietnam, as well as cyclist Greg La Monde and then-Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts.

Allen Wicken of Rangeley, who participated in the ride, will give a short introduction to the film.
