Oswald's Ghost offers an unprecedented deconstruction of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, uncovering how this single event forever changed the face of American culture and why it continues to plague the nation's psyche. Nearly 45 years after his death, seventy percent of Americans continue to believe that the 46-year-old President's murder was a result of a conspiracy. Did LeeHarvey Oswald, a twenty-four-year-old former marine and communist sympathizer, act alone? Was he infl uenced by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro or a rogue element of the CIA? Did the KGB or Russian government order the killing? Featuring interviews with authors Norman Mailer and Edward J. Epstein, politician Gary Hart, news anchor Dan Rather, activist Tom Hayden, attorney Mark Lane andothers, Oswald's Ghost uses a wealth of archival material - much of it never before publicly seen or heard - to chronicle America's obsession with the pivotal event of a generation. Quietly implicit throughout the fi lm is a haunting parallel of 9/11 and its aftermath.While there may never be a last word on the Kennedy assassination, Oswald's Ghost is as close to a defi nitive account as has ever been made of what the assassination did to America.
