Kerry Kennedy – Book Launch, Screening + Q&A Event, June 7

Join us for a screening of the 1968 Academy Award-winning documentary, Robert Kennedy Remembered.  An audience conversation and Q&A will follow the film, including a personal introduction to Kerry’s new book, Robert F. Kennedy: Ripples of Hope, published by Center Street.

Including interviews with international figures from Barack Obama to George Clooney, Gloria Steinem, and more, Ripples of Hope explores Kennedy’s influence on issues still at the heart of America’s identity today.

Shown on all television networks simultaneously in August of 1968, Robert Kennedy Remembered brought the Democratic National Convention proceedings to a standstill and the crowd, in tears, to its feet. The film was produced in only four weeks, two months after the Senator’s assassination, and went on to win the Academy Award® for Best Documentary Short in 1968. “To watch it is to experience a profound sense of loss and tragic waste all over again.”—Los Angeles Times.

$60, includes admission + a copy of Ripples of Hope+ small popcorn.
