American Son: A Portrait of John F. Kennedy, Jr.

The last, defining years in the life of John F. Kennedy, Jr., as seen by an editor who worked for him at ''George'' Magazine. In 1995 Kennedy launched ''George,'' a bold & irreverent magazine about American politics. Over the next 4 years, Kennedy's passionate commitment to the magazine transformed him. One witness to this transformation was Richard Blow, an editor & writer who joined ''George'' several months before the release of its first issue. Here we see the many sides of Kennedy's personality: the rebel; the gentleman; the vulnerable son struggling under the weight of a mythic family legacy; the leader who stays true to his vision, no matter how difficult the circumstances.
