RFK

"RFK, a new biography of Robert Kennedy ... takes as its theme lines from Aeschylus that Kennedy could recite from memory: "He who learns must suffer." RFK is a tragedy in two acts. In part one: The garish sun, Robert Kennedy devotes himself to his glamorous brother John, suppressing his own ambitions for the sake of the Kennedy name. In part two: The awful grace of God, after an assassin's bullet takes his brother's life, RFK is bereft, not only of a brother he loved, but a role that had given meaning to his life. Plunged into unremitting pain and grief, he struggles to find his own voice"--Container.

  • "RFK, a biography of Robert F. Kennedy written and directed by David Grubin for American experience, takes as its theme lines from Aeschylus that Kennedy often used: "He who learns must suffer." Grubin looks at Senator Kennedy's remarkable and tragic life, including the pivotal roles he played in many of the major events that defined the 1960s: the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil rights movement, and the war in Vietnam."@en
  • "Robert Francis Kennedy would almost certainly have been president if his violent death hadn't intervened. This two-part documentary is a probing and perceptive biography that reassesses the remarkable and tragic life of the third Kennedy son. The film looks closely at Kennedy's complicated relationships with some of the leading figures of his day, Martin Luther King and Lyndon B. Johnson among them. It reveals much about his personal world, his role as family mediator, his involvement with Marilyn Monroe, and his overwhelming grief and guilt following the assassination of his older brother. It ends with his own assassination."@en
