This is a clip from the feature-length documentary special, The Lost Kennedy Home Movies. The film aired on the History Channel in 2011, and was well-received. The film combined archival home movie and news reel footage, stills, and new interviews with narration by Liev Schreiber. It was expertly directed by Harrison Engle of Signal Hill Entertainment, and produced independently by SFM Entertainment. The project began from a mysterious reel of film, some of which you see in the clip. Through much detective work, we determined it was shot by Robert and Ethel Kennedy in the first year they were married. In addition to editorial duties on the film, I was also involved heavily in researching the material, with particular emphasis on the archival footage we had to work with. Definitely a career highlight.
