PBS: The Rise of RFK Jr.

Wednesday, January 7th, 2026

PBS: UK PREMIERE Friday 23 January at 8.35pm

Nephew of President John F. Kennedy, son of the former U.S. Attorney General, Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. once seemed set to continue the family tradition of Democratic politics. But after declaring his presidential candidacy in 2023, RFK Jr. later switched allegiance to the Republican Party and pledged his support for Donald Trump.

A former environmental campaigner, Kennedy has been at the centre of controversy for his advocacy of conspiracy theories over the supposed link between vaccines and autism.

This documentary charts the dramatic rise of the scion of a storied dynasty – how he endured tragedy and scandal, broke with the Democratic Party and his family, stoked conspiracy theories and is now reshaping public health.

The Global Listings press schedules are very good. Especially as we have very little space in the TV Guide sections, these are still very useful to us. In addition, the Global Listings TV highlights documents and press reports are also a great way for us to make choices of what TV programmes to feature.
