American Dynasties: The Kennedys

Over six episodes, "American Dynasties: The Kennedys" takes viewers inside America's "First Family," revealing how personal relationships within the Kennedy dynasty helped shape national and global events, from the Cuban Missile Crisis to civil rights legislation. The docuseries spans the lives of Joseph and Rose Kennedy and their children, beginning with how Joe passes his political ambition first to son Joe Jr. and then to reluctant second son, John F. Kennedy, and eventually uncovers how and why this one family so significantly impacted 20th-century America.
