Synopsis
This is a fly-on-the-wall story of 48 hours in the life of one of the most celebrated Americans of the 20th century. It draws on new, sensational material: 16 hours of uncut, unseen film shot in the Oval Office and the Justice Department. The story also brings to light the lost draft of the civil speech rights speech that JFK did not use that evening - even as he went on the air without complete text and spoke the last three minutes extemporaneously. In the rich Kennedy literature, Two Days In June is taut, atmospheric and wholly original.
