“A Ripple of Hope” focuses on April 4, 1968. At 6:01 PM that day, Martin Luther Ki ng, Jr. was assassinated. As news of his death spread, many American citie s were engulfed in chaos and fear. Some urban areas erupted in riots.  \;Fires burned out of control. \;Dozens of people were killed. Robert Kennedy, meanwhile, was enroute to Indianapolis where he was scheduled to speak in an African-American neighborhood at 9:00 PM. Pressing \;quest ions arose: should Kennedy \;venture into the heart of the Indianapoli s inner-city and talk to a potentially volatile crowd gathered at night in a park? What could he say to assuage their grief and anger? \;Should he comply with city officials who ordered him to stay away, or should he d efy them and possibly endanger his own life? \;The answer was never in question. \;Despite the violence raging throughout the country, Kenne dy courageously kept his promise, climbing up a shaky flatbed truck, and a nnounced the death to many who had not yet heard it. He delivered a moving , extemporaneous plea for peace and reconciliation. The crowd dispersed&nb sp\;peacefully. The film reconstructs that event using newsreel footage an d is interspersed with interviews with U.S. Congressman John Lewis and sev eral of Kennedy's aides, including Frank Mankiewicz and Adam Walinsky.
