New HBO movie captures Ted Kennedy's battle for immigration reform

[AlphaCentauri]

A new HBO movie shows the late Senator Ted Kennedy fighting for one of the key political causes of his life; immigration reform.

The documentary airs just days after the House voted in favor of health care reform.

Widow Vicki Kennedy says Kennedy would have been thrilled at Congress passing health care.

"I think he would've been exhilarated. You know he was always a person about moving forward. You know, he would be thrilled and move forward," she said.

And she said Kennedy might have spent quite a bit of time celebrating this victory.

"I think on this one, he would take a little more time and celebrate it, I would have to say, because this one was a long time coming," she told ABC News.

Another victory that Kennedy did not live to see is immigration reform, another unpopular cause that he championed.

The HBO movie, "The Senators Bargain," will air March 24 on HBO 2 and March 26 on HBO Latino
