FOUR DIED TRYING
FILM ONE: JACK JOINS THE REVOLUTION
The world trembles on the brink of radical upheaval as developing nations cast off the bonds of colonialism, Cold War tensions escalate, bringing humanity to the brink of disaster, and the U.S. reckons with its own internal systems of oppression.
Into this fray steps the youngest elected President in the nation's history: John F. Kennedy, child of an immigrant family that embodied the best of America's promise.
Though he is media savvy, a decorated war hero and a seasoned legislator, Kennedy will face unimaginable odds to enact his progressive agenda, running afoul of an entrenched power structure within his own government.
The reach of those powers, and the lengths to which they will go to ensure their dominion, will be revealed all too soon.
Jack Joins the Revolution continues the saga that began in the series' prologue, about four men who dared "to dream of things that never were, and ask 'Why not?'", and the calamitous consequences they faced as a result.
Through exclusive interviews with world leaders, cultural figures, eyewitnesses and historians, combined with illuminating archival footage and inventive animation, the story of this tumultuous turning point in our history is brought to vivid life.
