RFK MUST DIE - THE ASSASSINATION OF BOBBY KENNEDY
Although Sirhan Sirhan remains in prison for the murder of presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy on June 5, 1968, a staggering amount of evidence points to a more complex truth than the 'lone assassin' theory. As the 40th anniversary of the killing approaches, director Shane O'Sullivan examines the case, calling on expert witnesses, revisiting old evidence and screening rare footage from the night of the shooting itself.
