Trailer To Dawn Porter’s \u201cBobby Kennedy For President\u201d Doc Series<\/strong>Posted By Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

March 27, 2018<\/p>\n

Netflix has released the trailer to its upcoming documentary series \u201cBobby Kennedy For President,\u201d<\/strong> directed and executive produced by Dawn Porter<\/strong> (\u201cGideon\u2019s Army,\u201d \u201cTrapped\u201d). The film will have its World Premiere at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival on April 25th, followed a global launch on Netflix on April 27th.<\/p>\n

The series marks the 50th Anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy’s Historic 83-day Presidential Run.<\/p>\n

Robert F. Kennedy’s passion and vision helped his brother John get elected president, sparked a country’s conscience, guided the nation through terrifying crises, and inspired a generation. In the decade before his assassination at age 42, as Attorney General, a United States Senator, and a candidate for President, RFK also riled the establishment as he sharpened his political acumen, and challenged America to become the best version of itself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Told through rare and never-before-seen footage, director Dawn Porter’s four-part documentary series BOBBY KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT examines the “Bobby Phenomenon” of the 1960s and the continuing influence of the man many see as the greatest loss of a troubling and turbulent era.<\/u><\/p>\n

According to Variety<\/a>, Porter was originally approached in 2015 to direct a docu about Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan\u2019s ongoing legal case. But after doing research she discovered aspects of Kennedy\u2019s life that were intriguing. Porter wanted to share her findings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is so much to his career and life that isn\u2019t talked about,\u201d<\/strong> Porter said. \u201cAlso there\u2019s really not a soup-to-nuts Bobby Kennedy piece. There is a lot on his death, but I didn\u2019t want to just focus on his death because so often when we talk about Bobby Kennedy we focus on the assassination or we focus on his relationship with JFK. This series is about a story that you think you know, but you don\u2019t really know.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBobby Kennedy For President\u201d is produced by RadicalMedia, Trilogy Films, and LooksFilm.<\/p>\n
