Marking the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination, THE KENNEDY HALF-CENTURY is a one-hour documentary chronicling the impact and influence of John F Kennedy’s life, administration and tragic death on the public, the media and every subsequent U.S. president.
John F. Kennedy’s legacy has endured due to the early efforts of family and friends, as well as through Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” programs, Ronald Reagan’s tax cuts and Cold War strategies, Bill Clinton’s infatuation with the 35th president, and the “twinning” of JFK and Barrack Obama in the 2008 presidential campaign.
