Many of today's public figures, well-known journalists and just ordinary people bring John Fitzgerald Kennedy's legacy to the forefront of today -- in this dazzling, thought-provoking documentary. Is he relevant 45 years after his death? Absolutely!
There have been more documentaries and movies made about the 35th president than any other, yet Chuck Workman's "In Search of Kennedy" brings a new insight and perspective into his life and what he means today, as the country goes through the most important presidential election of this century.
"In Search of Kennedy," filmed in many parts of the world over a three year period, comes out at a time when his speechwriter Ted Sorensen is publishing a book on the Kennedy years, when GQ and Vanity Fair feature JFK on their covers, and, as we see in the film, when every presidential candidate, Republican or Democrat, is comparing him or herself to the 35th president.
John Kennedy's charisma and mystique is captured in archival footage, some of it iconic, some rarely if ever seen before. It is also captured in the eloquent words of those who knew him, including his surviving brother, Senator Edward Kennedy, speaking in an exclusive interview.
