DVD on RFK - Region Code 1

I was really looking forward to watching this DVD. However, when I ordered it I foolishly did not check the Region Code which turned out to be Region 1 so I cannot view it here in Europe. My own stupidity.

An Honest, Well-Intentioned Flop...So far.

Shane O'Sullivan is genuinely trying to get to the bottom of this story, but it seems in the process he fixates on the CIA. No peep about any other agency or branch. Many people probably are not even seeing the last section of this film, since on the Documentary Channel they've repeatedly aired it with a single, convenient, extended commercial break at the end right before he reveals that the men in all the footage are in fact from a watch company. There is no evidence they have any affiliation to the CIA at all.

The founder of the company was military brass and a presidential defense advisor, but O'Sullivan just throws out a single unsubstantiated allegation of it being a front for the CIA. No proof. He doesn't follow up on it. The individuals who are so certain who these mystery men are have egg on their faces. And then we get the old, tired, wishy washy "acoustic analysis" that only reveals more guessing. I'm thankful the director is at least honest about all this, but right at the very end after that long buildup? I'm reminded of Al Capone's vault and a guy with a moustache.

Was there motive, opportunity, and capability for a conspiracy? Was Sirhan's self-hypnosis mailing list being monitored by rogue elements of the government to find the perfect suggestible assassin, or patsy? Maybe. But the man also suffered a head injury, had motive himself, and on and on. There are items here that beg questioning. But the answers are not here to be found yet, only suspicion and a nagging feeling the executive producers needed a way to get their money back. Did they? Can we expect a part 2?

RFK Must Die and you must find out why.

As opposed to JFK's assasination, RFK's is pretty straighforward and has not been so hotly debated. There were many people in the kitchen when he was shot and Sirhan Sirhan is usually identified as the gunman. End of story? Not so fast. Why were CIA agents - who were known to despise RFK - attending his victory celebration that evening? When Sirhan was hypnotized, why did he immediately start writing "RFK must die!" over and over again - just like in his diary. Was he the original Manchurian candidate and was the woman in the polka-dot dress his handler? Many questions are raised and some are answered. You will learn enough to make you want to know more.

"RFK Must Die" is a must-see for anyone - like me - who believes that most history-alterng events are not random.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3

On June 5, 1968, shortly after winning the hotly-contested California primary, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was slain in the pantry of the Los Angeles Ambassador hotel. Charged with the assassination is Sirhan Sirhan, a 24 year-old Palestinian whose notebooks repeatedly declare RFK MUST DIE! While Sirhan Sirhan recants his confession, investigatory oversights leave many questions unanswered:

Why was RFK rerouted from his original destination in the hotel straight into the path of an assassin s bullet?
Who was the girl in the polka dot dress seen fleeing the hotel screaming We shot him, we shot him ?
Why was there a CIA presence at the hotel that night?
Why were additional bullets recovered but never entered into evidence?

Writer-director Shane O Sullivan, highly skeptical of the official report, conducted his own exhaustive investigation. Through exclusive interviews with eyewitnesses and invesitgators, as well as rare archival footage and a wealth of expert testimony, this disturning documentary sheds new light on the murder of one of America's most beloved politicians.

Bonus Features Include:
Sirhan Sirhan Audio Interviews
Kennedy Campaign spots
