Never has there been a man under such scrutiny, form birth thru death, as John Fitzgerald Kennedy JR. No actor, rock star, athlete or politician in our country. John-John was not to become a great man, never the less, was a very good man. I stumbled onto this independent film the other night during our August Monsoon here in Dallas. Brilliantly choreographed and remarkably done. Remember The provocative “Gorge” magazine? Way ahead of its time…With today’s political theater, Gorge would seem so Readers Digest today.
A Tribute to a Good Man is an homage to America’s fallen prince and the Kennedy legacy. It is the story of a young man destined for greatness, but determined to be good in a world filled with high expectations. Featuring cinematically shot interviews with John’s friends ranging from the famous, like Robert De Niro and Cindy Crawford, to the controversial, like Mike Tysonand Larry Flynt; from media stars like Christiane Amanpour, Chris Cuomo, Paul Begala, and Ann Coulter, to close friends like Grateful Dead songwriter John Perry Barlow and New York restaurateur Richie Notar, John’s former Chief of Staff RoseMarie Terenzio, and colleagues at John’s pioneering George Magazine Gary Ginsberg and Matt Berman.President Ronald Reaganâ€TMs son Michael Reagan and author Doug Wead talk about the destinies of presidential children, actor Kristoffer Polaha talks about the man he played on screen, while authors Christopher Andersen and Laurence Leamer offer background on the life of America’s most famous family. In addition to personal photos from John’s closest friends, I Am JFK Jr. features vintage footage of young John in the White House, on vacation with his family, and rare footage of him in the years after his famous father’s assassination.
I AM JFK Jr. is an engrossing look into the person behind the tabloids. Available now on Spike, You Tube, iTunes, and Amazon Video.
