Chappaquiddick

After inebriated, fast-driving Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Jason Clarke) accidentally drove off a bridge in Chappaquiddick, Ma., on July 18, 1969, and Robert Kennedy's secretary of four years Mary Jo Kopechne (Kate Mara) is tragically killed in this intense, factually based, engaging, well-acted, star-studded (Bruce Dern, Ed Helms, Clancy Brown, Jim Gaffigan, Taylor Nichols, and Olivia Thirlby), 101-minute, 2017 film, a scandal erupts and a chaotic aftermath ensues when the senator did not report the accident until nine hours later and then tries to curtail the damage to his political career and family name.
