Unsolved History: JFK: Death in Dealey Plaza (2004)

Documentary. This program impressed me as an exceptional effort since it digitally and seamlessly united all known video and photo evidence of the JFK motorcade, repeatedly played (walked us) through what happened with commentary, and then discussed (analyzed) the testimony in that light. Replication of Oswald's marksmanship under measured conditions showed he that could have squeezed off three precise shots in eight seconds. The grassy knoll and other issues are extensively debated, yielding (as I recall) doubt and no firm conclusion. I caught this on TV as my first JFK documentary and it seemed quite diligent and thorough, without a whiff of wild-eyed conclusion jumping. 4 stars.
