Available to stream on Showtime today.

I'm about 30 minutes in and impressed with how well produced it is and how the key details are explained in such an easy to understand manner.

In this case, it's partially true given how much has been learned in the last 30 years about the coverup(s). 

The only two logical possibilities are:

- "The Warren Commission and other investigators got it right that 'Oswald acted alone' in spite of the coverups and other problems with the evidence"

or

- "The Warren Commission and other investigations knowingly suppressed evidence of a conspiracy"

I've no interest in the 2 hour version. I'll wait for the 4 hour version.

It's worth watching but I think the 2hr version is intended for people who are less familiar with the post-ARRB evidence and the history of the investigations overall.

Most of the first and second generation JFK research community is aging and won't be with us much longer. It's nice to see many of them recognized in the film.

True. We're lucky to still have a few of the living legends around. Though I do not agree with most of their conclusions regarding the case.

JFK assassination Researchers who appear in the 2hour version:

Dr Cyril Wecht
Doug Horne
David Mantik
Gary Aguilar
Lisa Pease
John Newman
Jeff Morley
David Talbot

Pretty solid list and I'm sure there are others who I am forgetting at the moment.

What I like most about the film is it begins by highlighting the problems and inconsistencies with the evidence/documents before getting into the more speculative parts of the JFK case.

Watched it twice so far.

I rate it 10/10. Looking forward to the extended version which releases next year.

Oliver Stone is a great storyteller. I loved his “Untold History of the US” documentary series. Production-wise, JFK Revisited is next-level good. Much higher quality than Stone’s prior documentaries.

Kudos to Jim DiEugenio as well.

_What problems and what evidence. Even Kennedy said it would only take a nut with a powerful rifle in a tall building to get at a president and there was nothing you could do.

'The Warren Commission and other investigations knowingly suppressed evidence of a conspiracy"
_The Warren Commission and other investigations knowingly found no evidence of a conspiracy

Here, let me let leave my calling card
