Summary
Ted Sorensen, JFK’s closest adviser, speech writer and friend, in his own words and final interview, brings us directly into the Oval Office as a member of Kennedy’s inner circle. This film reveals how essential Sorensen was to the administration, as Kennedy said: “My intellectual blood bank”. Not only with the epic speech “Ask not what your country can do for you - Ask what you can do for your country,” but as special counsel to the President. It was Sorensen who Kennedy entrusted with the future of mankind when he tasked him to write the letter to Khrushchev to get him to back down during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Prepare for the roller coaster ride of insider perspective as Sorensen takes you behind the scenes with Castro and the Cuban Missile Crisis, Bay Of Pigs, CIA deception, Khrushchev, Civil Rights, Caroline, John Jr., Jackie Kennedy, Joint Chiefs and a possible coup in America, revealing what he believed was a conspiracy to murder JFK and who had the capabilities.
