The Day Kennedy Died (2013)

The Day Kennedy Died is a solid summary of the events, eyewitnesses, and emotional impact of JFK's assassination on November 23, 1963, and the day or two that followed. There is no chaff that I could see, just grit and gristle from the police officers, reporters, bystanders, and eyewitnesses to the shooting and ensuing events (using only contemporary film footage). I started watching this before Memorial Day weekend and just finished it now, because on Memorial Day I happened to catch CNN's excellent The Sixties treatment of JFK's assassination and the ensuing Warren Commission report. I give the CNN episode (1 hour) 4.5 stars and this documentary (1.5 hour) 4 stars. (5-31-2017)
