The Lost JFK Tapes: The Assassination

The Lost JFK Tapes takes a cutting-edge look at the investigation, the arrest, and subsequent killing of Lee Harvey Oswald.

On Friday 22 November 1963 in Dallas, Texas, President John F Kennedy was assassinated, fatally shot while riding with his wife Jacqueline in a presidential motorcade. This event rocked the world, and the footage has been viewed over and over again. However, for nearly 50 years, hours of news footage and radio reports have been hidden away in Dallas - firstly kept under wraps by the local news stations, and then in the vault of a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of that day. Now, this remarkable collection has been assembled into a fascinating documentary. Filling the gaps in the timeline of events, The Lost JFK Tapes takes a cutting-edge look at the investigation, the arrest, and subsequent killing of Lee Harvey Oswald.
