(More customer reviews)Although this subject is getting dated and young people really know very little about it, many of us who were around at the time have problems with the official line of what really happened in Dealey Plaza in 1963. Bill Kurtis does a very good job of looking at some of the main controversial issues remaining - the number of shots fired, the magic bullet theory, the puzzling autopsy records given to the Kennedy family and the conspiracy theories. Bill Kurtis seems to be one of the most believable journalists on TV, to me anyway. He doesn't skip past any issue quickly, but takes the time to analyze it in depth. He also seeks opposing views and never relies on one expert only, if possible.
He reveals in this video that an acoustic study sponsored by the US government over a decade after the assassination found that there must have been more than 3 shots fired - they said 4. This was largely based on a recording of a motorcycle radio which was stuck in the "on" position during the shooting. In fact, Kurtis's acoustic expert says there were 5 shots. How many people know that both the Warren Commission and this acoustic study were both accepted by the US Government, even though they disagree on the number of shots fired and therefore whether a conspiracy was involved?!
As the dust settles, Kurtis answers some questions and opens up other issues, like the skull X-ray that seems to show solid bone instead of a hole in the skull. Was it altered?
We may never know what actually happened that day, but Bill Kurtis has done his best to shine some light on this dark corner of history.
