“What I think is quite clear is, there is division, there’s violence, and disenchantment with our society,” Robert Kennedy asserts, via archival footage, in the trailer for “Bobby Kennedy for President.” Although those words were originally spoken more than 50 years ago, they still resonate in 2018.

Directed by Dawn Porter, “Bobby Kennedy for President” is a four-part Netflix docuseries that delves into Kennedy’s life, dedication to public service, and 1968 assassination. Combining never-before-seen footage of RFK with commentary from his peers, such as Dolores Huerta, Rep. John Lewis, and Harry Belafonte, the project “reveals anew what America gained and what it lost in the life, vision, politics, and hope of Bobby Kennedy,” according to its synopsis.

Porter previously helmed feature docs “Trapped,” “Spies of Mississippi,” and “Gideon’s Army.” She also directed the hour-long TV documentary “Fatherless,” which follows actor-comedian Baron Vaughn as he sets out to meet his father for the first time. The project aired on Fusion last year.

“Bobby Kennedy for President” will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 25 and will begin streaming on Netflix April 27.
