JFK’s assassination, plane crashes, scandals, and untimely deaths. Is there really such a thing as a Kennedy curse?
In this first of three special episodes, we go back to the beginning — to the making of a dynasty, forged in ambition and driven by a patriarch who expected greatness and tolerated nothing less. In the Kennedy household, sons were groomed for the presidency, daughters for perfection, and failure was not merely disappointing… it was unthinkable.
Robert Hardman and Professor Kate Williams unravel the astonishing rise of this Irish-American family from immigrant roots to global prominence, exploring the wealth, political muscle, wartime heroics and ruthless determination that built the Kennedy legend — and the immense personal pressure that came with it.
Before the building of a modern Camelot, before Dallas, there was a family determined to conquer America - but at what cost?
