09/18/11
OVERVIEW: From the
producers of the megahit 24, this six-hour scripted
drama/miniseries ventures upstairs at the White House during the
1960's to chronicle the saga of America's first
"royal" family. THE KENNEDYS provides an intimate look
at how Joseph Kennedy, Sr. shaped his sons John and Robert to
become two of the most influential men in U.S. history. The
8-part miniseries details how the two sons managed their father,
whose ambition exceeded their own, and ultimately made them who
they were. THE KENNEDYS recounts the scandal, tragedy, public
greatness and private frailty of our nation's most fabled
political family during on of the most momentous decades in
history.
THE KENNEDYS premiered on Reelz
Channel and features an all-star cast including: Oscar-nominee
Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets) as JFK; Katie Holems (Batman
Begins) as Jackie Kennedy; Emmy-nominee Barry Pepper (Saving
Private Ryan) as RFK and Emmy-Nominee Tom Wilkinson (John Adams)
as Joseph Kennedy Jr.
With political events such as
World War II, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the civil rights
movement playing background to their personal stories, THE
KENNEDYS dramatizes the family's triumphs and tragedies while
revisiting the historical period that played a significant role
in American politics.
SYNOPSIS: With several 4-star reviews from the country’s top critics and numerous festival awards, The Kennedys serenely captures Goldsworthy on-camera in the midst of constructing his trademark ephemera, each image more extraordinary than the last. Interweaving an elegant, minimalist soundtrack composed and performed by avant-garde virtuoso Fred Frith, The Kennedys is a mesmerizing cinematic experience that helps us to appreciate nature in new and enchanting ways.
