The Kennedys have represented glamour, power, and tragedy for decades. This fresh perspective on their iconic place in history starts from the beginning, in County Wexford, Ireland, through their early days in Boston and Hyannis Port, and into the halls of power in Washington, D.C.
Archival footage, home movies, and interviews with family members, historians, and experts provide unique access into the making of an American dynasty. By focusing on all nine siblings, not just the famous brothers, the film moves beyond major political events, revealing the intricate web of relationships, the complexities of their dynamics, and their long-lasting impact.
