Bobby...never going to break my faith.

Emilio Estevez, (writer, director and actor) delivers a gripping docu-drama about the days, hours, and minutes surrounding, Senator, Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination at the Ambassador Hotel in LA. Bobby takes you on a journey of hope and joy, as well as a journey of intolerance and despair culminating on June 6th, 1968. All set during a volatile period in American history when there was an abundance of economic, social, racial, and political strife.

Estevez manages to commandeer an ensemble cast that resembles a Who’s Who of Hollywood, and with this talent, he sheds light on a moment in history by weaving in authentic footage of Bobby's campaign & assassination; with that of life stories of 22 fictional individuals from all walks of life. The portrayal is powerful, in that, despite such a diverse cross-section of people passing through the hotel with different goals & agendas, the film reveals that on that day the nation was profoundly impacted, and that they were more alike than they were different. Primarily because they shared a common bond of optimism for something better, and they felt Bobby would be the one, the only one remaining capable of deliverance. GO SEE, Bobby, it’s moving, it’s nostalgic, and it’s full of depth, allowing us another opportunity to embrace the many faces that make-up the American experience. (120 minutes, R)
