King Kennedy is an upcoming drama thriller film set in the 1960s made entirely from archive material. The film stars some of the most prominent characters from 1960s America, including US President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, the African-American civil rights movement leader Martin Luther King, convicted assassins Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan and the film world's brightest icons of that time Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra. The plot line revolves around the concepts of truth and freedom, but pursues further towards deception, intrigue, conspiracy and murder, and features some of the most memorable moments in 1960s America, including Marilyn Monroe's world famous "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" at Madison Square Garden and Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in which he called for racial equality and an end to discrimination. The film is designed primarily to remind, focusing on the characters and events that build up to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King as their apparent determination to shy away from war, discrimination and hatred became ever more publicized.
The film is classified as being "In Production" on Amazon's Internet Movie Database. Further information including details on the release of the film can be found on the official site of the filmmakers.
