The life of John F. Kennedy is so often defined by his death. His assassination in November 1963 came to be seen as a turning point for America, a shift from an age of innocence and hope to one of violence and change. JFK himself was transformed from man into legend.
But that reading of history can disguise the fascinating and contradictory man behind the myth. As we celebrate the centenary of JFK’s birth, this new programme explores the making of a president. JFK’s life inside the Kennedy dynasty. His travels through Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Fighting the Japanese in WWII including swimming for survival to a tropical island. His many different illnesses often hidden from the public. His glamorous marriage to Jackie and his journey to become Senator and finally the run for The White House
