The Kennedys: America's Emerald Kings (2008)
Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
This in-depth history of the Kennedys provides an account of the family's history with an attention both to wide-ranging scope and to personal detail. Rooting the clan in its Catholic ancestry, filmmaker and journalist Thomas Maier explores the personal stories of key figures, while constantly searching for the all important "why," and seeking to explain the ongoing tragedies that plague generation upon generation within the dynasty, leading some to call the family self-destructive, and others to label it as cursed. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
