Press Room
The Museum will host a free public screening of the new documentary, "The Lost JFK Tapes: The Assassination" Wednesday, November 18, 1 p.m. The film airs nationally November 23 on the National Geographic Channel.
Opening with President Kennedy's final speech in Fort Worth on the morning of November 22, 1963, the film reconstructs the dramatic events of that weekend through rarely seen news footage, radio reports, audio recordings and home movies. Riveting scenes from Dallas Love Field, Dealey Plaza, Parkland Hospital and Dallas Police headquarters are combined with the gripping accounts of both eyewitnesses and news reporters, transporting viewers back to 1963.
"We are extremely pleased with ‘The Lost JFK Tapes,'" says Nicola Longford, the museum executive director. "The film is a unique compilation of historic footage that draws heavily from our museum collections, which is one of the world's largest and most important sources of documentation of President Kennedy's assassination and legacy."
"As we approach the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination, the museum is committed to making its considerable resources more widely available," Longford states. "This new documentary and our Reading Room project are the latest opportunities to showcase and expand our thriving collection of 35,000 items."
A question-and-answer session with the film's producer, Tom Jennings, and museum curator, Gary Mack, immediately follows the premiere, which takes place on the seventh floor of the museum. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Admission to the screening does not provide access to the museum's sixth floor exhibit.
