Jfk's Last Hundred Days




A close-up of the charismatic president that reveals the drama and promise of his last days

A gripping account of the last months of JFK's life that pieces together the details of his domestic and political life to paint a compelling picture of who he was when he was killed, and where he would have led his country and the world. His diplomatic moves to end the Cold War, his attempts to withdraw US troops from Vietnam and the galvanizing effect of the March on Washington are all recounted step-by-step against the backdrop of family tragedy, and reveal a courageous effort to steer his public and private life in a new direction.
