Synopsis

On June 6, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy, a strong opponent of racial discrimination, a supporter of poor communities, and an advocate for social change in America, was assassinated. With his death, a significant part of the American dream was seen as having collapsed. The film traces the journey of this statesman from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to the death of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, at the Ambassador Hotel nearly five years later. It explores Bobby Kennedy's political career and his efforts to create a fairer society. Over four years, he established his own political identity, leaving a lasting impact on American politics. These years were filled with hope but ultimately ended in bitter disappointment. Using unique archival material, the film presents a new perspective on the Kennedy known to many as "Bobby."

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
