Interesting that they do not include the Zapruder film. Even more interesting, fascinating even, is how clearly - and often - the assassin Lee Harvey Oswald is referred to as a communist. More than once he is referred to as "the Marxist Lee Harvey Oswald". Of course he was! He had been to Russia, had a Russian wife, was actively involved in communist causes, and just a week before the shooting had been fined in Louisiana for distributing communist propaganda- all of which is covered in this quite good documentary. A fine antidote to Oliver Stone conspiracy mongering, and constant media attempts over the years to portray Oswald as a right-winger. Kennedy's lone assassin was a man of the left, who worked in the Texas School Depository. In fact he would have been arrested on the spot but for a building manager who told police "he's okay, he works here." Lots of neat details such as this make this one well worth watching.
