‘JRK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass’ Preview
In 1991, Oliver Stone earned three Academy Award nominations for “JFK,” his film that examined the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy from the perspective of New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner).
Now in this new documentary “JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass,” which is narrated by Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Sutherland, Stone revisits the non-fiction book on which “JFK” was based and newly declassified evidence in the case. Incidentally, Sutherland appeared in Stone’s 1991 film as “X,” a mysterious Washington D.C. intelligence officer rumored to have been L. Fletcher Prouty, who said that Kennedy’s assassination was linked to the U.S. military–industrial complex.
The Showtime description of the new documentary reads, “Thirty years after acclaimed director Oliver Stone’s first examination of JFK’s assassination, Stone reassesses the horrific event that shaped a generation. Joined by Oscar-winning narrators Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Sutherland, as well as a distinguished team of medical and ballistics experts, historians, and witnesses and newly declassified and reexamined footage, Stone presents compelling evidence that in the Kennedy case, ‘conspiracy theory’ is now ‘conspiracy fact.'”
According to the studio press release, Stone will “reveal that Kennedy’s foreign policy actions were revolutionary in many ways and were a conscious decision he had been contemplating for a decade before taking office.” Stone will also “put Kennedy’s assassination in context politically, and present interviews, documents, and forensics reports that will change forever how Kennedy’s life, political career, and assassination will be considered.”
The press release continued, “It’s not an exaggeration to state that this [film] features the most distinguished collection of talent and knowledge on the JFK case ever assembled.”
Interviews in the film include the chairman of the Assassination Records Review Board John Tunheim, criminologist Henry Lee, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., James Galbraith, and Salon founder David Talbot.
“This documentary film represents an important bookend to my 1991 film. It ties up many loose threads, and hopefully repudiates much of the ignorance around the case and the movie,” Stone said in a statement.
AGC Television president Lourdes Diaz added, “We have long admired Oliver Stone and his work, and the revelatory information his new documentary brings forward not only sheds a new light on JFK’s presidency and his assassination, it informs us about our contemporary world.”
“JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass” premieres Monday, November 22 at 7 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on Showtime.
