⁣June 5th, 1968: Bobby Kennedy wins the California democratic primary and is set to challenge Nixon for the White House. Moments later, he is assassinated by 24-year-old Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan. 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 earlier reports for BBC Newsnight and the Guardian.
"Building up his case with detached clarity, O’Sullivan marshals his evidence with a forensic eye for detail and the deductive analysis of a good sleuth. It’s gripping." - SIGHT AND SOUND
"The outlandish theory that Sirhan...was a real-life Manchurian Candidate, programmed by the CIA... gains traction thrillingly as O'Sullivan unearths old witnesses...and identifies shady CIA operatives at the scene of the 1968 shooting. Or does he?" THE GUARDIAN
