While the story concludes with the death of Bobby Kennedy, it establishes the socio-political scenario of the late 1960s through the narrative lives of the people in the hotel, whose hopes hinged on the New York senator’s election into office. The lives of the people within the hotel play out behind that of Senator Kennedy while the echoes of his speech resonate through their lives with his calls for change.
To maintain verisimilitude, the filmmakers had utilized actual stock footage of Bobby Kennedy throughout the film alongside actor Dave Fraunces who plays Kennedy in the film.

Producer Edward Bass has received many accolades in his work, which he has taken much pride in. In Bobby, he had worked with both an all-star cast that includes Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, Laurence Fishbourne, and Elijah Wood, and with Emilio Esteves, who spent over six years writing the script alone. Bobby—an artistic labor of love—was a nominee for best picture in the 2006 Golden Globe Awards.
