Ethel is a 2012 documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The subject of the documentary is Ethel Kennedy, the wife of Robert F. Kennedy. Ethel will air on HBO later in 2012.[1]

Rory Kennedy, one of their 11 children, asked her mother if she would be a part of a documentary. Opening with Ethel's memories about her family[2], the documentary has five days worth of interviews including with Ethel's siblings. The Kennedy family is documented in home videos and pictures.[1]

Rory called her mother's life one of the great untold stories.[3]
