Here's The Trailer for 'Chappaquiddick' Christine Rousselle Posted: Dec 20, 2017
Some background: On July 18, 1969, during a party on Chappaquiddick Island, Kopechne, a former "boiler room girl" on RFK's 1968 presidential campaign, left with Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA). He then proceeded to drive his car off a bridge, escape the submerged car, walk past at least four houses where he could have conceivably called for help to rescue Kopechne, and instead walked back to the party, where he and two of his friends sort-of attempted to free Kopechne from the car and did not call the police. Kennedy then went to bed and awoke the next morning without calling authorities. The car, and Kopechne's body, were discovered that morning by two fisherman.
It is believed that Kopechne could have been rescued had authorities been called in a timely manner. Experts disagreed if Kopechne suffocated in an air pocket in the car or if she had drowned.
