In the era of nuclear confrontation, John F. Kennedy prevented war six times during his short tenure as president. He didn’t live to prevent a seventh.

VIRTUAL JFK: VIETNAM IF KENNEDY HAD LIVED takes up one of America’s controversial “what if” scenarios, examining the question: Would the U.S. have been involved in the Vietnam War if Kennedy was not assassinated in 1963? With insight and erudition, the film traces JFK’s presidency—a 1,000-day term plagued with tense political stand-offs—through rare and previously-unseen archival footage, offering nuanced accounts of the former president’s political decisions and, by extension, his probable response to the escalating conflict in Vietnam.
Featuring unprecedented access into the leadership style of one of the nation’s most important leaders, VIRTUAL JFK sheds new light on the man who helped avoid war in six crises and did not live to save America from the devastating war in Vietnam.

Top-ten market expansion will follow in early 2010. Oscar- winner Ellen Burstyn, Oscar nominee Ann-Margret, Mamie Gummer, and Will Patton also star in the period romance which was directed by award-winning short filmmaker and stage and screen actress Jodie Markell, in her feature debut, and produced by Brad Michael Gilbert.
