| Summary |
Forever enshrined in myth by an assassin's bullet, John F. Kennedy's presidency has often defied objective appraisal. This enthralling new four-part biographical documentary series offers a unique insight into the world of John F Kennedy; a fresh assessment of the man, his accomplishments and his unfulfilled promise.Featuring interviews with Kennedy family members and historians including Robert Dallek, Robert Caro, and Evan Thomas, audiences get rare access to personal stories about JFK's family life and political career, which contributed to the historical legacy which he left behind.Beginning with Kennedy's childhood years as the privileged but sickly second son of one of the wealthiest men in America, the documentary explores his early political career as a lacklustre congressman, to his successful run for the U.S. Senate, and the game-changing presidential campaign that made him the youngest elected president in U.S. history.
