The Paley Center will present a very special look at Robert F.

One of the most penetrating documentaries of all time,Crisis examined the KENNEDY Administration as it grappled with the integration of the University of Alabama. Produced by Robert Drew, the film yielded an intimate portrait of two brothers-the President and the Attorney General-reviewing their options to further the civil rights movement. The Drew estate has UNCOVERED more than seven hours of outtakes, notably featuring Robert KENNEDY in conversation with officials and family. Highlights from this archive will be screened, revealing a very intimate look at RFK as politician and father.

After the screening, Kennedy's daughters Kathleen KENNEDY Townsend and Kerry Kennedy; Hardball host Chris Matthews, and moderator Jeff Greenfield, will discuss the legacy of Robert KENNEDY on the fiftieth anniversary of his tragic assassination and his relevance to today. Support for this event is provided by The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation.
