DVD Description
JFK: Three Shots That Changed America
This three-hour special from HISTORY™ uses unique, rarely seen and heard footage to document the Kennedy assassination and the nearly 50 years of speculation and controversy that changed America. Home movies from eyewitnesses, Dallas police dispatch radio recordings and raw news footage provide a shocking, unflinching look at the assassination of the president and the days that followed while examining the aftermath.
• From the director of the Emmy®-winning 102 Minutes That Changed America.
• Outstanding reviews when released in the States – “the best on the subject you will ever see” by the NY Post.
The Kennedy Assassination: 24 Hours After
The moments and hours after JFK’s tragic assassination were some of the most formative and important for America, but the true story has rarely and only partially, been told. For the first time, using never-before-seen transcripts only recently made public, this film pieces together the 24-hour period after the shots were fired.
• Told from the point-of-view of Vice President Lyndon Johnson, this HISTORY™ programme examines the unusual incidents and events surrounding his crucial swearing-in.
• Based on the bestselling book by Steven M. Gillon.

This double DVD must be one of the best value for money bargains on Amazon. Whether you're a critic or a supporter of the final analysis this is a must for you. I've been studying and absorbing the JFK assassination for over 30years and some of the footage on this product I have never seen before and the quality of picture is superb, remember between the two discs you have more than five hours viewing which makes it all the more attractive. My advice to anyone with the same interest as myself, snap it up at this ridiculous price !!!!!!!

This film gives a lot of footage never seen before (by me and I've seen most of the Kennedy films). It gives you a lot more information on how Jackie Kennedy dealt with the event. Gives JFK's last speech and puts you on the spot with the time leading up to the assassination and after. Answers a lot of questions and gives you more to think about. This does not dwell on repetition of the shooting and Kennedy's head being shot, though it does obviously include this, but then moves on quickly to the events following. It gives you a sense of what Jackie was doing at the hospital and more specifically timing of the death. It follows the news broadcasts as the information is gathered and given to the world. You get a sense of the power of the Kennedy family and the feeling of devastation that ensues. This is a film for the Kennedy buff who want to pad out what they already have from other films. This shows moments that you don't get in the other films and adds to the melting pot of the conspiracy. Well worth the £

With an endless ream of material on JFK's assassination in circulation since the 60s it is a delight to find this DVD. It is expertly put together; three hours of footage from November 22-24, 1963 and select clips from the weeks, months, and years after document the tragedy more clearly than any book I've read about it before. There no talking heads or editorial opinion on the first disc, this approach is the most rewarding. It recounts much of what we already know but tells it more authority than an assassination book ever could. On disc 2 there's also a documentary on the transition of power from JFK to LBJ which is quite interesting but is a more conventional documentary production. Disc 1 of this collection is easily the most accessible and immediately insightful resource on the assassination. Despite the pure approach of the collection it still manages to be emotive, with a subtle background soundtrack and, most poignantly, footage of the charismatic JFK during the hours before his horrible death.
An essential item for fans of JFK and/or the assassination event, and also individuals interested in film making & editing as this collection is a masterstroke.
