Parkland

Parkland recounts the chaotic events that occurred in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The film weaves together the perspectives of a handful of ordinary individuals suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital; Dallas' chief of the Secret Service; an unwitting cameraman who captured what became the most watched and examined film in history; the FBI agents who nearly had the gunman within their grasp; the brother of Lee Harvey Oswald, left to deal with his shattered family; and JFK's security team, witnesses to both the President's death and Vice President Lyndon Johnson's rise to power over a nation whose innocence was forever altered. This is the ferocious, heart-stopping and powerful untold true story of the people behind the scenes of one of the most scrutinized events in history. Based on the book Four Days In November: The Assassination Of President John F. Kennedy by Vincent Bugliosi. (Gary Reber)
