BEIJING, Feb. 16-- Two investors have sued a filmmaker for allegedly misleading them about plans for a documentary on the life of presidential candidate John Kerry.

The federal lawsuit filed Monday says brothers Marc Abrams and Russell Abrams were misled into thinking that George Butler, a longtime Kerry friend, and the film's producers were trying to make a commercially successful film.

A lawyer for the brothers, Kenneth Sussmane, said Marc Abrams is seeking to recover$50,000 and Russell Abrams$125,000. Sussmane said the lawsuit also seeks damages of$1.3 million.

Butler said the lawsuit's allegations are"baseless and insulting to the artistic integrity of the film."
