Forty years after being elected President of the United States, John F. Kennedy seems both the most invulnerable, but also the most mysterious icon of the Twentieth Century. Everything seems to have been said about the Kennedys, yet significant gray areas still continue to obscure their threeyear reign today.
A million pages are still sealed, kept secret in the heart of the J.F. Kennedy Library in Boston, the temple erected by the family to the glory of the President.
There we find the President's personal archives on international politics and on Cuba, the nerve center of all his policies; the archives of Jo, the father, whose links with the mafia played a crucial role; the personal archives of his brother Bob. Minister of Justice, he did everything possible to discover the truth about the enigmatic assassination of the President. The results of his investigation are still secret. Without waiting for the opening of these precious archives, this documentary sets out to meet the last living witnesses of the Kennedy reign, to meet those who worked with the clan both in the United States and in the former Soviet Union. The comparison of these testimonies from both sides of the wall allows us to understand with greater objectivity the personality and actions of this great actor in the Cold War.
They are close friends of the Kennedys, bodyguard, member of the mafia, agent and heads of the FBI, the CIA, the KGB, and the GRU, the Soviet Military Intelligence infiltrated as close as possible to them and which to this day has not had never given an interview before. All agreed to speak for the story. They all paint an uncompromising portrait of the Kennedys. Everyone seeks to reveal the truth that their myth always hides.
They tell us how the Mafia played a determining role throughout the Kennedy reign. They reveal to us the repeated attempts to assassinate Castro, but also other heads of state. ExSoviets and Americans describe a JFK, certainly charismatic and fascinating, but also sick, unfaithful, naive, inexperienced, indecisive and dangerous.
Their revelations tell the hidden side of the Kennedys which alone allows us to understand not only their assassinations, but also the pitfall of the nuclear war into which they had led the planet...
