Rory Elizabeth Katherine Kennedy (born December 12, 1968) is an American documentary filmmaker.

Kennedy has made documentary films that center on social issues such as addiction, nuclear radiation, the treatment of prisoners-of-war, and the politics of the Mexican border fence.

Her films have been featured on many television networks.

She is the youngest child of U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel.

Rory Kennedy was born on December 12, 1968, in Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., to parents Robert F. Kennedy, a former United States Attorney General, U.S. Senator, and 1968 U.S. presidential candidate, and his wife Ethel Kennedy.

She was born six months after her father was assassinated.

On December 19, 1968, a week after Rory was born, her mother took her to her father's grave at Arlington National Cemetery.

Kennedy's older brother Michael LeMoyne Kennedy was assigned as her godparent by their mother.

1990

In the 1990s, Rory and fellow Brown classmate Vanessa Vadim (daughter of Roger Vadim and Jane Fonda) formed May Day Media, a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., that specializes in the production and distribution of films with a social conscience.

Women of Substance was Kennedy's first documentary.

1994

1997

Friends of the Kennedy family said Rory and Michael spoke almost every day of their lives.

When she was 15, her 28-year-old brother David died from a drug overdose.

Rory graduated from Madeira School in McLean, Virginia, and then Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

During her sophomore year at Brown, Rory organized a rally in front of a Providence supermarket.

In solidarity with migrant farm workers, she urged shoppers to boycott grapes.
