To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of John F. Kennedy, the Ridgefield Library will screen the recently released documentary American Experience: JFK on Friday, Nov. 22 starting at 12:30 p.m.
Throughout the day refreshments will be served and there will be an opportunity for library patrons to share their reminiscences of where they were on that fateful day.
The documentary offers a new perspective on John F. Kennedy’s private life, his relationship with his wife, Jackie, his close connection to his brother, Robert, and his bond with his father, Joe. The film also reevaluates his strengths and weaknesses JFK brought to bear on the Oval Office as he navigated some of the most explosive events of the mid-20th century. The film is 240 minutes long. Attendees may watch it in its entirety or drop in and stay for as long as they are able.
