We talk to high school friends, two of his college friends, his past girlfriends.
Then there was theGeorgeperiod, before we get to the day that he died and the whole flight.
This is a very intimate look at his life.
We made a very unique arrangement with a photographer we found.
Was it a mistake for him to fly that night?
Oh boy, I can’t really be the one to answer that question.
They both realized the conditions were really bad.
Is this going to make viewers sad?
There’s a combination of emotions when you watch this film.
There’s a sense of fulfillment and happiness and the incredible man that he turned out to be.
Also there’s the loss that everybody feels that he never got to fulfill his life.
There is that sense of promises that were left by circumstances undone."
The Last Days of JFK Jr.airs at 9 p.m.
