The nonsense that has arisen from attempts to make this assassination a deep conspiracy has totally skewed history. Finally a documentary that chronicles the weekend using file footage, interviews with participants and witnesses, and solid narration of facts tries to set the record straight. Put aside the Oliver Stone and Vince Bugliosi self-serving nonsense and watch this piece to gain some insight into what the event really felt like. I thought I remembered the weekend well, but this movie awakened memories and feelings that I had forgotten. It doesn't matter if you believe Oswald was a Russian agent, or that Ruby was a CIA hit man. Put those theories aside and open your mind to the shock and grief that these three days brought to all of us.

3 reviews here, and I dare to say that they don't get that this documentary had no intention to give answer on most common question: who organized this murder, what was the motive ...

All what was presented happened in 3 days in fact. It is good that they let those still alive in 2013, who were at the place to say what they saw, felt ... It was mixed with recordings of what was on TV stations in that time, some archive footage, and few older statements, memories.

That was actually decent. I don't see that anywhere was said something about giving definitive answers. What was couple times said is that this and this initiated lot of conspiracy theories.

Well, killing of Oswald was for sure something what resulted with 'conspiracy theories' - and that's perfectly normal. Especially as his murderer did not live long after that ... It was not mentioned at all here, and that's good, because then this could go on more, and will last 99 hours ...

I once heard the Kennedy motorcade in Dallas had a last minute change. Instead of continuing down Main Street it would take a right turn at Dealey Plaza and continue on Elm Street, and would pass directly in front of the school depository. Later I heard stories that the change was simply part of the many right wing conspiracy theories. In the documentary, Buel Frazier stated when he and Oswald arrived at the depository they had been informed, by another employee, that the route had been changed, that the motorcade would travel in front of the building. So if Oswald was the shooter, someone must have told him in advance of the change, since a shot from the sixth floor window of the depository would be impossible if the motorcade continued down Main Street.

Another interesting part of the documentary was a witness who recounted hearing the shots fired, that went, "bang, pause, bang, bang." I've heard this before from other witnesses. The problem is an Italian Carcano, M91/38, doesn't go "bang, pause, bang, bang." Maybe if it was a semi-automatic weapon, but not a very clumsy bolt action. I own a Carcano, and it's probably the worse military weapon ever produced. I also don't think anyone has been able to duplicate the three shots supposedly fired from the sixth floor window with a Carcano.

Last, is the false impression that Oswald, as a Marine Marksman, was an above average rifleman, and could have easily made those shots. Marksman is not an indicator he was an excellent shot. Marksman is one of three categories when qualifying with a rifle in boot camp, or basic training. The best riflemen are given an expert rating. The average is given a sharpshooter rating. The ones that can barely hit the targets, are given a Marksman rating. I know, I was a Marksman, and could barely hit the broadside of a barn.
