A film by Clara Kuperberg and Robert Kuperberg

He was one of the most famous men in the world and a close friend of American president, John Kennedy. He mingled with the most powerful, but what he didn’t know and what the world wouldn’t learn until his death in 1998, is that he was one of the most spied upon men by the FBI.

When the FBI made the Frank Sinatra dossier public, 1275 files were discovered, including thousands of tailing reports and taped conversations that revealed an unknown side of Frank Sinatra.

He was a very early advocate of civil rights as far back as the 40s, long before the civil rights movement took off. Frank Sinatra was doing things publicly to advocate tolerance among the races, long before it was a popular cause. The FBI files are replete with recounting of his activities on behalf of racial tolerance that also alienated him from leftist political causes. But the FBI was also interested in his friendships with mobsters through his control of nightclubs, and how that influenced his friendship with the Kennedys.

This documentary paints a picture of Frank Sinatra from the information found in his dossier; one of the most spectacular intrusions into the life of an American citizen by the FBI.
