Produced by multiple EMMY® Award-winning executive producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman (HBO’s John Adams and The Pacific), and EMMY® Award-winning producer Mark Herzog (History’s Gettysburg) of Herzog & Company (HCO). The two-hour film explores the events on the day that changed the nation – and the world, as well as how the public’s perceptions of what happened that day have changed through the years. The film reviews the most controversial findings of the Report of the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, also known as the Warren Commission Report. Through analysis from experts and contributions from eye witnesses, the film appraises the findings – and explores the context of the development of the report. The Assassination of President Kennedy attempts to explain why, five decades later, so many Americans feel the Commission’s investigation was lacking in transparency – which may have inadvertently contributed to the persistent existence of conspiracy theories that surround the assassination of the president.
