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. |
