It is a great 'what-if' of the last century. What if Robert F. Kennedy, brother of the murdered JFK, had not himself been assassinated while campaigning for the presidency in 1968? This special explores how Kennedy was transformed from a son of privilege and Cold War warrior to an advocate of peace and champion of the people during the tumultuous 1960s.

Delve into one of the most prominent families in American politics and society: the Kennedys.
THE KENNEDY PACKAGE takes a look at three widely-known members of this family, John F.
Kennedy, Robert F.
Kennedy, and Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
Often embraced as "American royalty", the lives and legacies of these Kennedy family members are revealed with historic images and footage along with contributions from historians, scholars, and authors.
This program consists of three 40-minute documentaries, starting with an exploration of JFK, the man behind the myth; then continues with the legacy of RFK and his unrealized presidency; and concludes the life of the former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis as it intertwined with that of her sister's, Lee Radziwell.
