Return to Mount Kennedy is a documentary that looks back on a historic 1965 climb in which Bobby Kennedy and Jim Whittaker (the first American to scale Everest) summited a mountaintop named after the assassinated JFK. Bobby, of course, was murdered a few years later, and Whittaker’s son pledged to conquer the snow-capped mountain again. Eric Becker directed this thoughtful quest film that combines natural, historical and human interest.
