Kennedy’s untold story

Coming Soon…

Using never-before-seen archival footage, this beautifully produced documentary, never broadcast in the UK, brings one of history’s most inspiring chapters to life. This is the previously untold story of Robert Kennedy’s visit to South Africa at the height of Apartheid.

Kennedy risked everything by meeting and forming a friendship with Chief Luthuli – one of Africa’s great leaders, forced into exile by the ‘Suppression of Communism Act’.

The legacy of his actions can be felt even today, in the legion of black South Africans who declare proudly: “My name is Kennedy”. Together with the activities of various other American individuals and organisations working to mobilise American opinion about the situation in South Africa in the Sixties, Senator Kennedy’s visit helped to plant seeds -for what was to take another two and a half long decades to bear fruit. In the context of the Unites States activities in Africa in the 1960s, this previously untold chapter will go down as one of the West’s most positive contributions.
