I remember when his Kevin Costner-starring movie came out in 1991. The theories pushed forward were thought to be pure fantasy and wild conjecture. But, as Stone shows us in his new documentary available on Showtime, his subsequent research backs it all up. This is a riveting two hours and, for all those believing January 6, 2021 was the "worst" day in American History, I will offer up as a rebuttal November 22, 1963.
When this country's leadership was changed by an orchestrated coup worthy of the worst of South American dictatorships.
From autopsy missteps to missing photos to disappearing witnesses. It's all here and it's no wonder why not all the files have come out on Kennedy's murder. Indeed, the CIA was clearly involved. And maybe the mob, too. While not mentioned in this copious documentary, journalist and TV personality Dorothy Kilgallen apparently had the keys to this mystery back in 1965. She, too, died under mysterious circumstances. I know there's a reporter who has opened up this case in NY.
Admittedly, I'm a geek when it comes to all things JFK, so I am the target audience for films like this. But it is so well researched and laid out that you can't deny its success at telling the accurate story. Someday, I guess the truth will come out. Or not.
But, at the end, you realize that, in comparison, the sins of the Trump administration are akin to stealing a third grader's milk money when compared to what was done to our democratic government in 1963.
LEN'S RATING: Four stars.
