JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America [2009] Dir: Nicole Rittenmeyer


I had never heard of this two part documentary until a couple of days ago. It's composed entirely of old archive and news footage, as well as some pieces of audio. It's brilliant, and completely fascinating from start to finish. 

There's a lot of footage I had never seen before; some great stuff from New York City on the day of the assassination, a piece with Abraham Zapruder on television and also some stuff with Oswald in prison and Lyndon Johnson on the phone to J. Edgar Hoover. 

It doesn't take any sides in the story, it just presents it as it was filmed or captured originally and is edited together perfectly. It's almost three hours long, spanning from 1963 to modern day, but is a must watch if you're interested in the subject matter.
