This week will mark the 60th anniversary of JFK's assassination. And so there have been lots of documentaries that have aired recently on JFK and the assassination. And I have watched, or will watch, the best ones. It's an important, and shocking, historical event. And it is maybe the defining event of the 60's - certainly to Americans. Unfortunately, I fear my main knowledge of it is through Oliver Stone's film JFK. Which is generally debunked by historians. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great film. Indeed, I think a collector's edition of the film is coming out next month which I'm tempted to get. But I'd like to get a more accurate understanding of the events that took place - not clouded by the bunch of conspiracies espoused by the film.
