This video gets in depth with Jim Garrison, and it tells of his investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy. This is a perfect companion to "On the Trail of the Assassins" as it takes you into the whole case, and interviews all the primary figures involved with the investigation. Highly recommended!
This video came out only six months before Mr. Garrison died. But most was filmed between 1988-91.Mark Lane (Moshe Levine) is here
as well and he wrote two very fine books, one of which was the ORIGINAL basis of Stone's fine film, 'JFK'. The other, Plausible Denial is based on why he thinks Stone's people went the other way on some things plus the Liberty Lobby case v. E. Howard Hunt in Jan. 1985, which proved the Watergate liar Hunt WAS in Dallas, Texas that day!
There is no question that his assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, changed America, destroying not only the idyllic dreams of Camelot but invoking what has now become a permanent mistrust of government at the highest level in the hearts and minds of the American people. Many, many men and women have devoted their lives to studying the tragedy that took place in Dealey Plaza on that terrible November day, and I am hoping that the American public will reawaken to a travesty of justice that has been somewhat forgotten.
This video, The Assassination of JFK, makes for an excellent introduction to the truly incredible story of this tragedy, although it certainly cannot begin to cover all of the questions and inconsistencies of the "official" Warren Commission report on Kennedy's death.
The first half hour of this video is devoted to Kennedy's life, the pivotal events of his shortened presidency, and the possible implications his decisions and intentions played in his death. There is a tidy wrap-up of some covert CIA history and there is a rundown of the events in Dallas with Garrison occasionally speaking of events. Basically, the viewer will see a lot of background material explaining the different motives of a number of groups hostile to JFK: the Mafia, right-wing extremists, anti-Castro zealots incensed at JFK's Cuba policies and his betrayal of the freedom fighters who died in the Bay of Pigs fiasco, a hostile faction of the CIA, J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, and the wealthy oil barons of Texas. The possible motives of each of these groups are summarized rather well.
This is a more than worthwhile video for any American who wants to know more about the JFK assassination, but let me assure those unfamiliar with assassination research and study that nothing you see or hear here can even compare to the extraordinarily disturbing stories that many diligent private researchers have put forth about the murder and its aftermath. Americans of all ages, whether we be Democrats or Republicans, men or women, black or white, should continue to demand and seek the truth about this pivotal event that changed America forever in a matter of six seconds. For those who want to know more, this video is a great starting place.
