Dallas Video Festival 2008

As Americans look to replace tarnished national ideals with new Presidential wisdom and honor, this film brings to life an American President who was widely respected by his countrymen and celebrated around the world.

This new film is composed from four break through films by Robert Drew. Each is an unprecedented record in candid photography of a phase of John F. Kennedy’s political life.

Kennedy is seen in close up from young Senator campaigning for the Presidency, to an ebullient new President moving into the White House, to a burdened President trying to solve grave problems in the Oval Office. The shock of his death is seen through the faces of his compatriots.

Now these four films are edited together with other footage of the time into “A PRESIDENT TO REMEMBER: IN THE COMPANY OF JOHN F. KENNEDY”. This new film is an intimate history of how one American President struggled to bring wisdom and honor to the office of the Presidency.
