The Story

At just 28 years old, Jacques Lowe became the personal photographer to President John F. Kennedy and captured moments no one else could see. From private strategy sessions to defining moments of a presidency, Lowe documented the human side of power at the highest level.

Decades later, after losing over 40,000 negatives in the September 11 attacks, his story—and much of his work—nearly vanished.

This film reveals what survived, and the untold story behind the images that shaped history.
