JFK: The Last Speech: Film Screening and Discussion

Of President John F. Kennedy, many stories have been told. Few are less known or more revealing than his friendship with America’s most celebrated poet. Yet it was Robert Frost that Kennedy made the subject of one of his most famous speeches—just weeks before his assassination.

JFK The Last Speech explores the dramatic relationship between these two seminal Americans, reaching its tragic climax in a surprising encounter with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at the height of the Cold War. At its center is an extraordinary speech about poetry and power that inspires a group of college classmates to alter the course of their lives.

A pre-screening talk with Executive Producers Neil and Judy Bicknell will be presented at 5 p.m., followed by the movie at 5:20 p.m. Immediately after the film, dinner and a talkback session with the Bicknells will be held at Alberto’s Ristorante, Main Street, Hyannis.
