Best JFK Documentary - David Guyatt - 10-02-2016
A friend is taking a university degree course and has asked for recommendations on what is the best general and all round documentary on the JFK assassination.
I'd appreciate recommendations I can forward?

1. "The Men Who Killed Kennedy." Tell your friend that some of the information in that documentary is outdated and incorrect.
2. Jack Anderson has a documentary that is called "Who Murdered JFK?" but you should be aware that Anderson's conclusion from 20 years of independent research agrees with the HSCA that the Mafia was responsible.
3. I would also suggest "The Smoking Gun," but you should be aware that that documentary is a re-hash of Donaghue's Mortal Error theory (that the head shot was fired accidentally by SS Agent Hickey in the follow car).

I think this is a very good introduction (from the early 90s; Jim DiEugenio makes an appearance).
Much longer for newbies, but very good:

Thanks Drew and Tracy, appreciated.
Yes, I guess what I'm after is a general introduction that covers all the main/principal points and reasons for his assassination without going into the deeper nitty gritty details. And then a deeper follow up in case of need.
Any other suggestions?

This 1978 BBC/Anthony Summers doc is a simpler introduction:

Oliver Stone's JFK.

Parts of the many parts of The Men Who Killed Kennedy are great...in others he was led astray......

Really?

Semel remembers Stone saying "lots of things like 'Are you concerned politically? Would it affect your company? Are there negative reasons why you wouldn't do it?' My immediate reaction was 'No, we should do it.' If it's entertaining and it's intriguing, a great murder mystery about something we all cared about and grew up thinking about, why not?....
It seems Stone and Zachary Sklar were either not entirely informed, or they were, but.....

I just watched the Summers documentary. There's really good stuff in there like Schweiker basically coming out and saying CIA and FBI were lying and covering up. Silvia Odio leaves no doubt she saw Oswald and that the two Cubans who were with him were trying to set him up as being crazy enough to kill Kennedy.

It's not so much a documentary, but Len Osanic's 50 Reasons for 50 Years series is quite excellent and informative.
