- Synopsis
What did forensics learn decades later that wasn't clear in 1963?
Did the original crime investigators make mistakes that contributed to the belief that the assassination was a conspiracy?Unprecedented footage of the Dallas physicians who tried to save the President's life, as they examine new evidence especially for this documentary; computerized 3-D Dealey Plaza replica; frame by frame Zapruder footage comparisons; photo analysis by experts; leading critics of the Warren Commission's lone gunman conclusion.
As critics universally noted at the time, this documentary is the most definitive and responsible investigation of the tragedy. Nothing has been released since its original telecast that changes that conclusion.
"An admirable and thorough job...serves a public function of the first order...cogent and coherent."
—Journal of American History"Sterling piece of journalism...sweeps away enigma without making unsupported charges."
