On June 6, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy, a staunch opponent of racial discrimination, supporter of the inhabitants of poor neighborhoods and advocate of social change in America, was assassinated. With him, a whole section of the American dream collapsed. From the day of President Kennedy's assassination to the death of his brother Bobby Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel almost five years later, this film looks back at the journey of this statesman and his fight for a fairer world. Four years during which Bobby Kennedy will fly on his own wings in politics, four years that will leave an indelible mark on American politics, four years full of hope, but ending with a bitter disillusionment. Through unique archives, discover a new portrait of this Kennedy that everyone called "Bobby".

“Marilyn vs. Marilyn” tells the story of a little-known period of Marilyn’s life – the years she spent in New York, trying to became a ‘serious”’ actress, taking lessons with Lee Strasberg and setting up a production company with her photographer and trusted friend, Milton Green. Based on hitherto unpublished – and magical - photos from the Greene archives, the film focuses on the photographic image of a woman who remains one of the greatest legends in the history of cinema… and an enduring enigma.

“Never, ever, publish them!” What was it Jackie Kennedy wanted to keep secret? Acclaimed director Patrick Jeudy has access to a series of conversations recorded a few months after her husband’s assassination in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The Lady in Pink was continually driven by a dual purpose: that of molding her own image, whilst managing that of the president. She cannot change the past, so she may as well rewrite it and start to build the legend of JFK.
