Jim Garrison: The Man Who Inspired Oliver Stone's "JFK"

(Our #JFK60 coverage continues tonight at 9 Eastern with an encore presentation of this October 2022 Maverick News broadcast.)

30 years after the death of Jim Garrison , we remember the former New Orleans District Attorney who inspired Kevin Costner's character in Oliver Stone's 1992 opus, "#JFK."

We talk to historian Jim DiEugenio (screenplay writer for Oliver Stone's new documentary series "JFK Revisited" and author of the companion book) about how the work of Jim Garrison paved the way for three generations of JFK Assassination researchers, including himself.

We look back at the life of Jim Garrison, hear from both his critics and his supporters, and show you a rare excerpt from Garrison's final interview recorded shortly before his death on October 21, 1992.
