"Unfortunately, there are some very powerful people who tried to put pressure on me not to release this movie," Allen said. "They went out of their way to try and influence me in a negative way. I made it very clear that I'm not about the right, I'm not about the left. I'm about the truth."

On one fateful night in 1969, Ted Kennedy drove a car off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island in Martha’s Vineyard. As the movie unflinchingly portrays, Kennedy left the scene of the accident, abandoning his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, to drown alone. Rather than call for help, Kennedy instead went home to focus on covering up the incident. A whole 10 hours would pass before Kennedy officially reported the accident. Evidence would later show that Kopechne could have possibly survived had Kennedy sought immediate help.

Speaking at the film's Beverly Hills premiere, Allen referred to Kopechne as "one of the original #MeToo victims," demanding that her story be told and the public learn the truth.

Jason Clarke, who portrays Ted Kennedy in the movie, admitted to feeling uneasy about the role.

Don't forget about Johnson, who supposedly had a big Johnson and loved showing it to people. He also made his secretary go into the bathroom with him when he took a ####.

It was, by many accounts, where she primarily took dictation.

After reading "The Last Brother" when it was first published (1994?) I could not believe that Kennedy kept getting re-elected after that. It was enough of a mystery even before. That so many people just like Kennedy (Rangel, for instance) keep getting re-elected is proof that the electorate at large is clueless and just pushing a button.
