A look at John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the public’s reaction to the tragedy and the government investigations that led to a widespread loss of trust in the institutions that govern American society.
The assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas on November 22,
1963, left a psychic wound on America that remains today. Few
Americans then or now accept that a lone, inconsequential gunman
could bring down a president and alter history. That event gave
rise to a culture of conspiracy that points to sinister forces at
work in the shadows. This film features interviews with authors
Norman Mailer and Edward J. Epstein, politician Gary Hart, news
anchor Dan Rather, activist Tom Hayden, attorney Mark Lane and
others. Drawing upon these interviews and rarely seen archival
footage, "Oswald's Ghost" takes a fresh look at Kennedy's
assassination, the public's reaction to the tragedy and the
government investigations that led to a widespread loss of trust in
the institutions that govern American society.
