JFK: Rendezvous with Death (2006)Rendezvous mit dem Tod: Warum John F. Kennedy sterben musste
John F. Kennedy's assassination was the murder of the century. Over the last 40 years, divergent conspiracy theories surrounding Lee Harvey Oswald have captured the imagination of people the world over. Now, for the first time compelling facts supporting a new scenario have been uncovered: Oswald was a weapon-for hire in the ultimate round of a deadly duel between John F. and Robert Kennedy vs. Fidel Castro. Just weeks before Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Oswald travelled to Mexico. After the assassination, FBI supervisor Laurence Keenan re-traced Oswald's movements in Mexico to find out what he had done during his stay there. The information that Keenan were confronted with was so explosive that President Johnson personally ordered an immediate halt to the investigations in Mexico. For the first time in the history of the investigation of the Kennedy assassination, the Mexican secret service DSF allows access to its archives. A study of these documents clearly reveals that while in Mexico Oswald had been contracted to assassinate Kennedy. The actual investigative breakthrough, however, comes in the form of highly credible, expert "insider" witness statements. They reveal why Oswald was recruited, how and by whom. Wilfried Huismann's HD documentary is a milestone on the long road to the final resolution of the open question of the century: Who really killed JFK? - Director:
