U.S. Premiere of RFK Must Die to Air on DOC

NASHVILLE, May 16:
Documentary Channel (DOC) will showcase the U.S. premiere of the investigative
documentary RFK Must Die: The Assassination of Bobby Kennedy on June 9 at 8 p.m., with an encore presentation
June 25 at 9 p.m.

The 102-minute
documentary, written, directed and produced by BBC reporter, author and filmmaker
Shane O’Sullivan in 2007, will be broadcast in its entirety by DOC, which
acquired the exclusive U.S. TV rights to the film through 3DD Entertainment.
The program is the result of a three-year investigation into the controversies
surrounding Bobby Kennedy’s assassination, which took place June 5, 1968.

“Shane O’Sullivan’s film
is a very controversial and thought-provoking documentary, and we’re honored to
be able to show it to an American television audience for the first time,” said
Tom Neff, the founder and CEO of Documentary Channel. “The Kennedy
assassinations and related conspiracy theories have both fascinated and
infuriated Americans for decades. I remember being in high school when the RFK
killing took place and the whole school and community was in shock. We couldn’t
believe it. I remember thinking: Not again!”

“I'm delighted that
Documentary Channel will air the U.S. TV premiere of RFK Must Die to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the
assassination,” added O’Sullivan. “Building public and media awareness of this
disturbing case is crucial to persuading the authorities to reopen the
investigation. DOC offers a wonderful platform to reach a new audience with the
uncomfortable truths behind one of America's most bizarre and enduring murder mysteries.”
