Product Description

More than 40 years have passed since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. The Murder of JFK: A Revisionist History takes a comprehensive examination into the theories behind the assassination itself. It also explains the tragedy within the context of the existing U.S. political and cultural climate, and the global context of the Cold War.

The Murder of JFK: A Revisionist History includes:

  • The first digital rendering of the Zapruder film, mastered from the original.
  • The only known color footage of Lee Harvey Oswald.
  • Cuban source material on the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
  • First-time use of audio material from Robert F. Kennedy¹s oral history.
  • Interviews with Arthur Schlesinger, John Frankenheimer, Jack Anderson and Sam Halpern.
  • A link between the film Psycho and the FBI’s report on Oswald.
  • Newly discovered footage from local television archives and foreign news sources, including Lyndon B. Johnson’s thoughts concerning a conspiracy.

    • Winner of the 1999 IDA/ABCNews VideoSource Award for the Best Use of News Footage in a Documentary.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very scholarly film that deserves notice, March 12, 2006
    By Ronnie Castro (Laredo, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    First of all, let me just say that I am very qualified to give a review of any film concerning the JFK assassination. I am currently a professor of psychology at Texas A&M International University with an educational background in sociology and political science. I began my research on the Kennedy assassination more than 8 years ago as an honors student in a Texas History class. Since then, I have returned to the subject on and off and have given presentations on the subject as a graduate student and more recently as a professor. In the process of doing my research, I came across Noel Twyman's book Bloody Treason. At first I was turned off by the dramatic title (which I later discovered was a line from Shakespeare's Ceasar), but once I read the book (over 800 pages) I realized it was very objective and scholarly, and the approach of the author was that of a prosecuting attorney making his case before a court of sceptics. I admired the depth of this man's research and was very surpised that his work did not receive the respect or attention it most certainly deserved. Either way, I later watched the Final Chapter episodes of the Men Who Killed Kennedy on the History Channel, and while I had some minor objections to the simplicity of its conclusions regarding the Texas connection, I feel that Nigel Turner nonetheless deserves praise for his great contribution to this line of historical research. Having reached my own conclusions, I had put the subject of the Kennedy assassination to rest for a while. Then I came across The Murder of JFK: A Revisionist History on DVD while perusing through some newly released DVDs. I have to say that I wasn't eager to spend another $18 on a JFK assassination DVD that I knew next to nothing about. But I finally decided to take a chance and make the purchase. I was not dissapointed in the least. In fact, I was suprisingly impressed with how much detailed information was revealed in this DVD and how well the filmmaker compiled news footage that was either rare or very hard to find. The most interesting and indeed the most important aspect of this film is that it places the JFK assassination in the context of the global and national sociopolitical atmosphere. In that sense, it also offers a very detailed analysis of historical events during the late 1950s and early 1960s. I agree with the previous reviewer that the film, unlike the Men Who Killed Kennedy series, doesn't draw any firm conclusions, but definitely gives the viewer enough information to continue doing research on their own. In sum, if you want to get to the truth of the Kennedy assassination, read Bloody Treason by Noel Twyman, watch the Final Chapter episodes of the Men Who Killed Kennedy (including the older episodes), and buy the Murder of JFK: A Revisionist History on DVD.

    4.0 out of 5 stars ACTUALLY, A PRETTY GOOD DVD, February 20, 2007
    As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service (and President Kennedy's interaction with the agency), I was much interested in this DVD by Matthew White. Quite frankly, I didn't expect much, but the technical brilliance of the program---and the archival footage contained herein---make this a worthwhile purchase. Get this. vince palamara

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very complete historical record..., March 11, 2006
    Probably the most interesting documentary on the events preceding and following the JFK assassination I've ever seen. Full of terrific news footage that makes the time period come alive, including a strange news clip of Jack Ruby's lawyer telling newscameras that being in Dallas makes him want to vomit! This documentary tends to lean towards conspiracy, careful to never vocally express that viewpoint as THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY did. It offers a lot to think about without taking a firm stance, which I appreciated.

    Anyway, there's much to process here. If you've got any interest in the case, in the Kennedys, in Castro or the Cold War, you'll enjoy this DVD.
