The Kennedy Files

There's rich and famous and then there's John F. Kennedy Jr. No one has ever worn a heavier crown of expectations than John. How he navigates through them, not only reveals a complex and graceful man – but redefines the very nature of celebrity.

Before Jay-Z & Beyonce or Bill & Hillary, there's Jack and Jackie, the original ‘power couple.' Together they conquer the world, even as their marriage is rocked by infidelity, heart-break, and power plays. And when it suddenly ends, the hardest question remains: is it a love story?

A series of high profile Kennedy legal cases reveal the double-edged sword of fame and privilege. Justice may be blind, but these cases reveal how the very name Kennedy can be either a ‘get out of jail free card’ or a target for vendettas.

Every family has them. But no family has built higher walls around their secrets than the Kennedys, who fend off relentless attacks from the media and the tabloids to protect the family’s reputation and ambitions.

Becoming president isn't just a matter of what you show America but what you hide as well. ... connections to sexual encounters with possible spies—the Kennedy family writes a virtual magician's handbook on how cover-ups are done.
