Evidence of Revision 1, The Assassinations of Kennedy and Oswald

This is the first of a six-part series looking at events in the US in the 60s and 70s. The title Evidence of Revision is an indication of the way the narratives were being changed as they unfolded. An alternative title is The Assassination of America. The films make extensive use of picture in picture display, and has a very fine ambient music soundtrack.

The first in the series looks at the assassination of John F Kennedy, through eye-witness accounts and news reports as they came out during that day and the days which followed, much of it previously lost to public access.

The most important witness who is presented is Roger Craig, a Dallas County Deputy Sheriff who was on duty at Dealey Plaza as the assassination took place, and who was one of the first persons to enter the Texas School Book Depository from where shots were fired.

The film also follows what happened when Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested, and his almost impossible gunning down as he was being transferred from the city jail to the county jail. His killer, Jack Ruby, famously said: “The people who had so much to gain, and had such an ulterior motive for putting me in the position I\'m in, will never let the true facts come above board to the world.”
