The Day Kennedy Died

Image 1 / 8

Starring Academy Award-nominee Greg Kinnear as JFK, Barry Pepper as Bobby Kennedy, Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy and BAFTA and Golden Globe winner Tom Wilkinson as Joseph Kennedy Sr, this eight-part series chronicles the intimate story of this iconic family and highlights the epic achievements, private failures, loyalty, love, resentment and betrayal which beset them. ‘The Kennedys’ explores a story of family loyalty, of lives built on the deaths of siblings and of sons bending to the will of their dominant father, Joseph P Kennedy Sr, who was determined that his son Joe Jr would one day become president. Second son John was an afterthought, pushed into politics by his father after Joe Jr's wartime death and requiring constant secret infusions of drugs for various physical ailments; neither he nor brother Bobby could refuse Joe Sr's plans for the family. History tells us what this family did, but this captivating series tells us who they really were.
