JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America is a documentary about the assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy. It premiered on The History Channel on Sunday, October 11, 2009 and was released on DVD on January 26, 2010.[1][2]
The film is an unnarrated collection of archived news and home movie footage shot as events unfolded, some of it rarely seen. Part 1 deals with the time from President Kennedy's arrival in Dallas on November 22, 1963 through the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald less than 48 hours later. Part 2 deals with the Warren Commission, its critics and those who suspect a conspiracy, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 and the turmoil that followed, and the effects of the assassinations on American society.[3][4]
The film won the FOCAL International Award for Best Use of Footage In Factual Productions.[5]
