Netflix documentary explores RFK's legacy 50 years later
BOSTON (AP) — He was once called the most likely American in the 20th century to become president. But Robert F. Kennedy's bid to follow in his older brother's footsteps as commander in chief was cut short the same way John F. Kennedy's White House term was: by a man with a gun.
Fifty years later, Bobby Kennedy's life and transformation into a liberal hero is coming to Netflix in a new four-part documentary series available Friday. Through archival footage and interviews with friends and staffers, "Bobby Kennedy for President" takes an in-depth look at what drove him to seek public office, the events that shaped him and his legacy decades after his assassination.
