#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
The jaw-dropping story of how an Australian lieutenant and two Solomon Islander scouts rescued a future president at sea is brought to cinematic life in this exceptional work of history. Mason considers the stranger-than-fiction event and its effect on the Kennedy myth as well as on US–Australian relations.
