Review – RFK Must Die

I’ll hand one thing to documentarian Shane O’Sullivan: he’s one of the few conspiracy theorists I’ve ever heard use the words “I don’t know.” Most of these folks are so gospel certain of their points of view. The evidence presented here tends to support the theory that the CIA was involved in Robert Kennedy’s assassination. The case has appeal overall but frays around the edges. For example, some of the people photographed at the scene before and after the shooting resemble known CIA operatives, but then the resemblance could have been coincidental. And while Sirhan’s bizarre behavior might support the case that he was a brainwashed “Manchurian Candidate,” he might also just be plain ol’ crazy. The evidence presented in the Documentary Channel’s epilogue is likewise inconclusive. But it’s the refusal to draw absolute conclusions that makes this a powerful work. Anyone who claims he has all the answers automatically looks like a nut. “I went looking and here’s what turned up” is a much more compelling story. Worth seeing
