Rory Kennedy

In 1998, Kennedy formed Moxie Firecracker Films with Liz Garbus (“What Happened, Miss Simone?,” “Becoming Cousteau”). Under that banner, the duo produced acclaimed nonfiction series and features including Garbus’ “The Fourth Estate” and Kennedy’s “Ghosts of Abu Ghraib” and “Last Days in Vietnam,” the latter of which was nominated for an Academy Award in 2015. Kennedy and Garbus went their separate ways to create new banners: Kennedys’ Moxie Films and Garbus’ Story Syndicate, which she co-founded with Dan Cogan. In 2022 Rory Kennedy and Mark Bailey’s Moxie Films has partnered with Imagine Documentaries to develop and co-produce a slate of new nonfiction fare. Imagine Documentaries is headed by Sara Bernstein and Justin Wilkes. Bernsteinpreviously served as senior VP of HBO Documentaries.
