On June 5,1968, shortly after winning the hotly-contested California primary, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was slain in the pantry of the Los Angeles Ambassador hotel. Charged with the assassination is Sirhan Sirhan, a 24 year-old Palestinian whose notebooks repeatedly declare "RFK MUST DIE!" While Sirhan Sirhan recants his confession, investigatory oversights leave many questions unanswered:

• Why was RFK rerouted from his original destination in the hotel straight into the path of an assassin's bullet?
• Who was the girl in the polka dot dress seen fleeing the hotel screaming "We shot him, we shot him"?
• Why was there a CIA presence at the hotel that night?
• Why were additional bullets recovered but never entered into evidence?

Writer-director Shane O'Sullivan, highly skeptical of the official report, conducted his own exhaustive investigation. Through exclusive interviews with eyewitnesses, investigators and survivors of the assassination as well as rare archival footage and a wealth of expert testimony, this disturbing documentary sheds new light on the murder of one of America's most beloved politicians.
