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?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.

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 Tell your friend that some of the information in that documentary is outdated and incorrect.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).
"All that is necessary for tyranny to succeed is for good men to do nothing." (unknown)
James Tracy: "There is sometimes an undue amount of paranoia among some conspiracy researchers that can contribute to flawed observations and analysis."
Gary Cornwell (Dept. Chief Counsel HSCA): "A fact merely marks the point at which we have agreed to let investigation cease."
Alan Ford: "Just because you believe it, that doesn't make it so."

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:

Parts of the many parts of The Men Who Killed Kennedy are great...in others he was led astray......
"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws. - Mayer Rothschild
"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience! People are obedient in the face of poverty, starvation, stupidity, war, and cruelty. Our problem is that grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem!" - Howard Zinn
"If there is no struggle there is no progress. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and never will" - Frederick Douglass

Albert Doyle Wrote:Oliver Stone's JFK.
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.....

Peter Janney's uncle was Frank Pace, chairman of General Dynamics who enlisted law partners Roswell Gilpatric and Luce's brother-in-law, Maurice "Tex" Moore, in a trade of 16 percent of Gen. Dyn. stock in exchange for Henry Crown and his Material Service Corp. of Chicago, headed by Byfield's Sherman Hotel group's Pat Hoy. The Crown family and partner Conrad Hilton next benefitted from TFX, at the time, the most costly military contract award in the history of the world. Obama was sponsored by the Crowns and Pritzkers. So was Albert Jenner Peter Janney has preferred to write of an imaginary CIA assassination of his surrogate mother, Mary Meyer, but not a word about his Uncle Frank.

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.

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
