    Well Done.

    This is a straight to the point look at the early days of JFK right up to his Presidency. The countless photos and videos really give an authentic feel to this documentary. I definitely learned some things I hadn't known before and that's the point. I'm not gonna say the guy was a saint but he will always go down as a prominent part of American History be it good or bad. I hope you guys enjoy this Informational piece as much as I did. Kennedy stuff always intrigues.
