The story of American royalty doing anything it can to keep its power, even after killing someone. Good stuff here.  Edward “Ted” Kennedy was the youngest son of business tycoon Joseph Kennedy, a man who valued money, power, and the prestige of the Kennedy name above all else. Ted no doubt felt immense pressure to follow in the footsteps of his highly successful (and tragically assassinated) older brothers John and Bobby, and to his credit, Ted was a United States senator for more than 47 years before he died in 2009. Director John Curran dishes on the Kennedy family, its legacy, and not worrying about making it look good in this candid interview. I recently sat caught up with Curran over the phone when he attended the Miami International Film Festival in March 2018. We discussed the curse of being a Kennedy, whether Ted would've been president if the events in Chappaquiddick never happened, and why the production took them to Mexico for a key scene.
