American Experience "RFK"
Robert KennedyWritten and directed by David Grubin, "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. Just as he has begun to discover his own identity and move beyond the shadow of his brother, he, too, is assassinated.
