A fascinating dramatisation of a conspiracy theory surrounding Kennedy's assassination
It's the 1990s, and Lynette, an ex-assistant editor at LIFE magazine, now living in obscurity, has gathered her family around her to celebrate her birthday. She has a secret that she needs to confide in them. In the 1960s, when she worked as an assistant on LIFE magazine, she was an 'unwilling' witness to the first showing of the (in)famous 'Zapruder' film about the assassination of Kennedy, which allegedly proved the theory that there was a second assassin. Chosen by her boss to hand over the film to the FBI, Lynette is the last surviving link in this particular chain of mysterious events. Thirty years later and the controversy still rumbles on: Will the retiring ex-Assistant forsake her and her family's anonymity for the sake of demonstrating this incontrovertible evidence to the world
