JFK Assassination: The Definitive Guide

JFK Assassination: The Definitive Guide (2013)

**** (out of 4)

Highly entertaining documentary from The History Channel was produced to air on the 50th Anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. The main purpose of this documentary is to shine a light on the various conspiracies out there and see which ones American's most believe were behind the murder. From what we're told by the narrator, The History Channel did the largest survey ever in regards to the murder of the president and this show presents all the findings. If you're into one of the conspiracies then you're really going to enjoy this film because pretty much every rock is looked under including there being a second shooter, Oswald being attached to the mafia and then there are some really wild theories about Kennedy being killed due to him asking too many questions about the government's knowledge of UFOs. Yes, some think Kennedy was killed because of aliens. There's also some bizarre stories about the driver of the limo turning around and finishing Kennedy on that final head shot. The Mafia, the Catholic church and various other theories are looked at and discussed in great detail. I really thought this was highly entertaining on so many levels. For starters, it's interesting to see that the majority of the people simply don't trust the government, which is somewhat scary. There's also talk about everyone Kennedy upset in his short years in the office and why there are currently over two-hundred theories on who killed him and why. There's even details given as to why Oswald was the only shooter. Fans of history will certainly enjoy this film as there's quite a bit going on and a lot of great opinions expressed.
