This is a 2023 documentary movie on the crime of the century – JFK’s assassination. It joins a host of films, books, investigations, documentaries and conspiracies on the event of November 22, 1963. It is not the most entertaining and it covers much of the known facts, actions of law enforcement, theories and the seminal piece of evidence, the Zapruder film. I thought it was interesting and compelling as it offers a unique premise and conclusion. It is not sufficient to justify a dispositive verdict, but no other investigation has been able to accomplish that, including the Warren Commission headed by Chief Justice, Earl Warren. The volume of enduring conspiracy theories, inconsistencies and open questions justify watching this film for me. Even though it is rated 3.0 on IMDB, I found parts of it compelling. A bad boring film is rated 5.0; have you ever seen a movie rated 3.0?
I don’t want to give anything away as to the unique conclusion of the film, but there are some factual points that are indisputable and continue to fuel various theories. For example, the film references that when Trump got into office he stated he would release all the information the government had on the assassination, but in the end he refused to release portions of it for national security purposes. What would harm national security more than proof that either the FBI, CIA, or other government agency participated in a presidential assassination and subsequent coverup? What information or threat would perpetrators of an assassination have that is powerful enough to keep such a crime secret? The movie showed Jack Ruby, the shooter of Oswald, saying that there were people powerful enough to arrange circumstances to force him to do what he did and much more, but they would never be revealed. Of course, the movie addressed the “magic bullet” that would have had to reverse course in order to hit Kennedy. This is the fact that spawned the second shooter from the grassy knoll conspiracy. There were many other new items brought out and a complete analysis of the famed Zapruder film. Why was no one from ABC, NBC or CBS there with cameras and others who were did not film the presidential limousine? Was Kennedy’s body exhumed just three years after it was buried for reasons other than reconstructing his burial site and eternal flame?
If you have any interest in this event, I think you would find it an interesting film. Whether it solves all your questions and convinces you completely, I leave with you.

I have studied the JFK assassination for 50 years. Not as an all consuming thing, but long before the internet. One great video that came out (I have it on VHS – yes old) is called Best Evidence. The author concluded that the best evidence in the case was JFK’s body. I wont go into more – Id write 100 pages.
The Zapruder film is not very good evidence. First off – the original untouched Zapruder film was given directly to the FBI. Since they were par of the cover up – they messed with the film. How is this possible you ask? It is true that there was no digital media whatsoever and the film was filmed on Kodak movie film – impossible to alter. You they did make changes. There is a source that had the original, or a copy of it, and when you compare it with a professionals analysis, you can see how the film border is inconsistent. You can also see that frames are missing so there are “jumps”. One such jump is in the drivers actions. Some think the driver made the killing shot. Another feature of the doctored film is the “amoba man”. He is a man running in the background who is completely distorted. This is because when the some of the films frames were altered, only the foreground was altered and the background was left “funny” looking. This is because it was extremely difficult to make any changes to an analog film. They also had time constraints.
For those sleuths out there – if you don’t know the significance of the police officer JD Tippet’s murder – you will never get to the truth. I have not watched this documentary yet. But if its conclusions are based on the Zapruder film – they are likely easy to dismiss. The FBI Zapruder film was created to support the lone gunman Oswald theory. That couldnt be further from the truth.

I’ve read and watched dozens of JFK conspiracy accounts and this is the most preposterous. To suggest that JFK and Jackie employed a movie blood squib in the limo as some kind of practical joke just beggars belief. Absolute lunatic stuff.
