American Dynasties: The Kennedys

Family patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy aspires to hold the ultimate position of power by becoming President of the United States, but wartime disgrace extinguishes his dream. His ambitions are passed to his eldest children, but when two tragically die in plane crashes before they turn thirty, the mantle is passed to a reluctant heir. The sickly John F. Kennedy must now shoulder his father's ambitions, and the burden of rebuilding the family's reputation.
