Assassinated: The Last Days of Kennedy and King

NEW DOCS

The filmmakers expertly shape a moving, even surprising, documentary that links the lives of two of this nation’s great prophets of peace, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. One is reminded through the news footage of their personal campaigns and the intimate testimony of family and friends that “all prophets had to suffer.” They were, in Jefferson’s words, “the best hope for mankind.” This beautiful tribute honors what RFK wanted for this country—compassion.
