Summary
On April 4, 1968, the day Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, Robert Kennedy was campaigning in Indiana. The atmosphere quickly became explosive, with news of King's death prompting riots and fires in cities across the nation. Kennedy was urged to cancel a campaign rally in the inner city of Indianapolis that night, but he refused--insisting that he would speak to the crowd, despite the very real threat of violence. Through interviews with key RFK aides as well as neighborhood residents who were on the scene that night, this documentary relates the true story of that momentous day in American history
