About

The Kennedys

The Lost Kennedy Home Movies
Although the Kennedys were a family who projected a glittering public image, they were also intensely private, with many of the most intimate family moments hidden from the eyes of the outside world. And yet, much of their private life was recorded, filmed for their viewing only, on rare 16mm color home movies.

The Kennedys speak for themselves through The Lost Kennedy Home Movies, as we discover the little-known story of the Kennedy clan from 1935 through JFK's swearing in as President in January 1961. Featuring interviews with people close to the Kennedy family as well as intimate letters and other personal documents from the nine Kennedy children.


Lost JFK Tapes: The Assassination
For over 45 years, news footage and radio reports of Kennedy's assassination and the days following have quietly languished in Dallas. First kept under wraps by the news stations who owned them, then in the vault of a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of the day Kennedy was shot down.

Now this remarkable record will be assembled in an unprecedented documentary The Lost JFK Tapes. We detail the events of those confusing four days in a way not seen in more than four decades, letting the images unfold in real time.


The Kennedy Assassination: 24 Hours After
While the moments and hours after John F. Kennedy's tragic assassination were some of the most formative and important for the United States, that story has rarely, and only partially, been told.

HISTORY re-examines this pivotal day, using stunning details found in newly public documents to reveal a vice president thrust into the role of commander-in-chief and left to make critical decisions with limited information.

From the moment Lyndon B. Johnson was told of JFK's death (after a security aide had already ordered a casket); to his decision to take the oath of office on Air Force One alongside the former First Lady (before getting her approval); to the return to his home for a full briefing of what happened that day (long after it was televised to the world); 24 Hours After uncovers an unfamiliar story born out of one of the most critical days in American history.
