Plus Skype interview with Rory Kennedy. After looking at a variety of challenging topics, such as poverty in America, Abu Ghraib prison, and illegal immigration, acclaimed documentarian Rory Kennedy took on an even tougher subject: her mother. Ethel Skakel Kennedy, widow of Robert, is not prone to introspection and has little interest in reflecting on her significant role in contemporary American history, so the 84-year-old makes for a challenging documentary subject.
