Oswald's Ghost Preview
A preview of Oswald's Ghost, a film about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 that left a psychic wound on America that is with us still today. Few Americans then or now accept that a lone, inconsequential gunman could bring down a president and alter history. In that breach, a culture of conspiracy has arisen that points to sinister forces at work in the shadows.
