Editorial Reviews

In the modern world, the idea of a curse is usually dismissed as superstition. Yet in the case of the Kennedy family, many otherwise skeptical people regard their repeated misfortunes as the result of outside forces. Using newsreel footage, still photos, archival material and numerous original interviews, KENNEDYS: THE CURSE OF POWER examines the string of tragedies that has befallen the family, stretching all the way back to World War II. We'll explore various theories about why so many of the clan have fallen victim to fate, from simple coincidence to Chris Lawford's conjecture that "the Kennedy story is really about karma, about people who broke the rules and were ultimately broken by them." And we'll also examine the flip side of the coin, the undeniable truth that America's most famous political dynasty has been blessed with wealth, intelligence, looks and influence. Join politicians, reporters and historians for an all-encompassing analysis of "The Kennedy Curse."

This is a program focusing on all the tragedies that have happened in the Kennedy family starting from when the first Kennedy arrived in America from Ireland to JFK, Jr.'s death in 1999. It has a lot of information, so it is great for those who know little about the Kennedy family.

If you are a Kennedy fan then this is worth watching...just for the info and the pics and videos. The angle of the video...the whole curse thing...they kind of failed to really do anything with the angle. I think it was just a money making op because the Kennedy name still sells so good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Price. Good bio on the Kennedys., April 14, 2010
