In the 20th century, families like the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts built and spent massive fortunes. Political dynasties such as the Roosevelts mix with this monied elite, and the press baron William Randolph Hearst fills his papers with stories about them. A young Joseph Kennedy plots to reach the heights of American Royalty, and his son JFK will change America forever. Now, using rare archive and home movies, the story of American Royalty will be seen in colour for the first time.
America In Colour was broadcast on SBS ONE at Friday 11 February 2022, 04:00. This episode was initially placed on Friday 3 July 2020.
