The trailer for Capturing Kennedy chronicles the story of Lowe, who managed to find himself as the personal photographer of one of the most famous and beloved Presidents of all time. Combined with the stories of some iconic photographs, the movie also dives into Lowe’s background, and also some of his archival footage.

Capturing Kennedy is directed by Steele Burrow and co-produced by Burrow, Miriam Horn, Keith Soucy, Andrew Lawton, and Kelly O’Donnell. Burrow, Erin O’Connor, and Kelly O’Donnell all serve as co-writers on the film as well. In addition to Lowe’s own archive of Kennedy, the film also includes interviews with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Kennedy biographer Fredrik Logevall, Lowe’s close friend Frank Harvey, and one of Lowe’s daughters, Victoria Allen.

“Capturing Kennedy offers a rare glimpse into one of the last untold stories of the Kennedy era,” said filmmaker Steele Burrow. “Jacques Lowe’s remarkable journey—from immigrant to artist to the unofficial White House photographer—has never been captured on film until now. His is an uniquely American story that intersected with some of the most pivotal moments in our nation’s history, and a powerful reminder of photography’s ability to shape how we remember the past.”
