R. F. K. Must Die: The Assassination of Bobby Kennedy
Synopsis
But even under hypnosis, Sirhan has never been able to remember the shooting and leading psychiatrists believe he was a 'Manchurian Candidate', hypnotically programmed to kill Kennedy.
Now, newly-discovered film and photographs appear to show three senior CIA operatives at the crime-scene, suggesting the CIA was behind the assassination.
A disturbing new investigative documentary based on O’ Sullivan’s reports for BBC Newsnight and The Guardian. Accompanying book to be published by a major US publisher on the 40th anniversary of the assassination in June, 2008.
