The Kennedy Curse Documentary Special explores the tragic history of the Kennedy family, which has been haunted by a series of deaths and misfortunes. Weaving together archival footage, interviews, and expert analysis, the documentary delves into the events that have earned the Kennedys the reputation of being cursed. From the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy to the plane crashes and car accidents that have taken the lives of other family members, the Kennedy Curse has left a trail of grief and sorrow. Despite their wealth, power, and privilege, the Kennedys have not been immune to tragedy.
What does get articulated fully here is the sociopolitical dimension, in which fantasy ideas invariably amplify punitive recent real-world trends regarding the rights of women, minorities and immigrants, complete with a heavily patrolled border “wall.” There’s also room to address xenophobia, prejudice and misogyny cloaked in patriotism, plus the popular pull worldwide toward fascistic leaders and police-state policies.
But the scene that best demonstrates the twins love of this trope is when Mina offers to enchant some weapons with anti-witch spells, and Hansel responds by producing a large cart full of heavy weaponry. She can t invite friends over, or happily join in witch-bashing banter, because mom uses their home which conveniently has hidden passageways between walls as a safe house on a sort of underground railroad smuggling witches to Mexico, which is still granting them asylum.
Despite their wealth, power, and privilege, the Kennedys have not been immune to tragedy. The documentary also examines the impact of these deaths on the surviving family members, who have had to bear the burden of loss and the weight of public scrutiny. While some argue that the Kennedy Curse is merely a series of unfortunate coincidences, others believe that there may be something more sinister at work.
