provocative viewing
This series was excellent. It is well worth the time and money. As a registered nurse, I once worked at Parkland. I found the revelations about falsified documents and autopsy records, altered post mortem photographs, illegal removal of the body from Parkland for an autopsy at Bethesda, missing forensic evidence, and information from the funeral home and Bethesda autopsy personnel very disturbing. Dr. Wecht is more than justified in calling for a 21st century forensic investigation of whatever evidence remains.
The lack of Secret Service protection of the president is appalling. The lack of documentation or "lost logs" is egregious at best. Why hasn't the Secret Service been held accountable? The only plausible explanation is that a conspiracy existed in which the organization was duplicitous on some level.

If you are not familiar with the assassination or this series, buy it! I have viewed it several times. Each time I become more outraged that something of this magnitude could have occurred. The medical and Secret Service information was enough for me to conclude a conspiracy existed.

The newest tapes "The Final Chapter" were equally amazing.
Information from Judy Baker regarding her affair with Oswald was very interesting. Her knowledge of New Orleans, cancer research, and Jackson State Hospital appeared credible. The information about alleged human subject cancer tests performed on Angola inmates at Jackson State Hos[ital was sickening. I have never seen this information presented anywhere other than this series. Information about LBJ wasn't that shocking to me. As a native of Louisiana, I can remember discussions that occurred at the time of the assassination and Shaw trial regarding LBJ. He wasn't perceived as an "honest broker", and many thought that he was involved on a deep level.

Great tapes!! If you are a history buff don't miss them.

Entertaining, but do your OWN thinking .....
I'll readily admit that this video series is highly watchable. Historically, it's a crucial collection of interviews with original participants in the events surrouding the assassination. And it's just plain spell-binding in its far-reaching and "we-have-an-answer-to-every-single-question" manner of presentation. But, unless you are extremely ill-informed about the most notorious murder of the now-gone 20th century, you'll notice plenty of holes in the "story" right away. Well done, Nigel Turner ... no doubt about it. But please, folks ... don't rely on entertainers (i.e. producers, directors, news taling heads) to provide your historical education. If you don't buy the Warren Commission's thesis, read and think for yourself. This "documentary," despite its industriousness, has served as mind candy for the uninformed who are more than willing to accept the 60-minute version of historical events offered up by professional storytellers rather than perform any basic interpretation for themselves. The Kennedy assassination was an incredibly seminal event, one that can't be explained by the hokum of a guy on the grassy knoll that shows up in a grainy Polaroid photo using laughable scientific techniques, or via the "confessions" of a Frenchman's lawyer. The truth -- or all that we're ever going to get -- is out there and has been for a long time. There is NO CREDIBLE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that there was more than one shooter in Dealey Plaza that day OR that anyone other than Oswald was the shooter. Plenty of subjective analysis, intriguing tidbits, shadowy characters, etc., but the road to truth ends at Oswald's doorstep. It is time, after a long and frustrating search, to get over it. Indeed.

Not a hysterical piece... Serious material...
This 1988 British documentary is loaded with important "real person" interviews that cannot be viewed and just dismissed lightly as "conspiracy hogwash"... Yes, there are flaws, naturally: Beverly Oliver may not be the essence of credibility, and the Corsican hitmen theory smelled a bit over-ripe even if the 2 surviving "hitmen" hadn't allegedly threatened to sue (and successfully had their names removed from the piece, although that's still a controversy in itself)... And much of the data (though not all) is circumstantial and mixed all around, it cant really be ignored upon viewing.

And the 1995 "sequel" chapter ("The Truth Shall Make You Free"), though also worthwhile and very disturbing, seems in places to be infected with some of that latter-day media mindset of 'well-if-we-have-to-admit-that-maybe-there-was-a-conspiracy-then-let's-make-the-Kennedy-brothers-seem-like-they-essentially-brought-it-on-themsleves', which I don't appreciate.

The recent "Final Chapter" was pulled from distribution and is not available for purchase because it implicates LBJ as complicit--- which caused an uproar and, in the mood of 2004, even very old information that would never raise the eyebrows of "students" of this subject, can get suppressed all too easily. (Until it's ever released, a seance with Madeliene Brown will have to suffice).

Nevertheless, despite what you may have heard "TMWKK" is a very serious, chilling documentary, if an imperfect one.
