Win! The Senator on DVD

Jason Clarke stars as Ted Kennedy in this compelling tale

The Senator is an engrossing political thriller inspired by true events which changed both the influential Kennedy dynasty and US history forever.

Stepping into the senator’s shoes is Jason Clarke (Mudbound, Zero Dark Thirty), whose multifaceted performance as Ted Kennedy is one of a complex man riddled with guilt yet driven by ambition.

Clarke’s Ted struggles with his family’s huge legacy, and his displays of slimy self-preservation leave audiences debating whether to offer sympathy or condemnation.

Behind Clarke is an equally talented supporting cast, including Academy Award nominee Bruce Dern as the ailing yet venomous patriarch Joe Kennedy Sr.

While his brothers like President John F Kennedy are no strangers to film, John Curran’s dramatic retelling ensures this compelling tale won’t just be left to the history books.
