Ethel

Great documentary about a great woman.
Just watched this last night. It was so great to hear intimate family stories, and hear about the amazing love and devotion Ethel and Bobby Kennedy had for one another. The intimate home movies were great. Rory Kennedy did a phenomenal job, making this film, to tell her mother's rarely heard story. Would recommend this to anyone. Doesn't matter if you're a democrat or a republican. It tells a great love story and documents a great humanitarian, Ethel Kennedy.

Loving and intimate portrait
Sure, it's a bit of a white wash, but no one can reasonably expect that Rory would ask her mother about Bobby's vicious side, or his philandering, or any number of other topics that Ethel does not wish to address of emphasize. With that in mind, this is a fascinating and moving and beautifully made documentary about a really remarkable woman, and features not only interviews with Ethel herself, but also many of her 9 surviving children. Ethel's a unique person in our history, and well worth spending an hour and a half with. Highly recommended.

Inspiring and Challenge
This is a remarkable living history of one of America's finest families. It is a "must" see record for every person who cares about our country.
