8/10
An important piece of history that changed America and the world
1 August 2019
I'm grateful that the documentary was done in that it recounts important, forgotten history that profoundly affected our lives to this day. The documentary failed in providing relatively little information about Bobby and wasting too much time on Jack and on tangents. I recommend reading more than one biography of Bobby for a fuller story of his life and times, including his presidential campaign and the alternative history that would have been, had he not been assassinated. The film says there was a conspiracy to kill Bobby and by law enforcement to cover up the involvement of other conspirators (which is true) but does no investigative journalism to prove the conspiracy. It essentially says people have evidence and are trying to get a new investigation. Nothing new. It also absurdly defends Sirhan, who was caught in the act, and tries to generate sympathy for that evil man. It's like an extended episode of Biography. I miss investigative journalists, an endangered species. I hope the film sparks more interest in Bobby for viewers than the filmmakers have.
