JFK: One Day In America Trailer
Transcript
Thinking back, I’ll never forget those sounds.
Pow. Pow. Pow.
It’s been sixty years this year.
There are a few of us left.
But very few.
I think about the event as it happened.
And I go right back to the moment that it happened.
We were one lane width away from him when he was shot in the head.
I saw a father take his little boy and he put his body on top of the boy.
I think my maternal instinct kicked in.
I jumped to the rear bumper.
Mrs. Kennedy was screaming, “I love you, Jack.”
I wasn’t fast enough.
Mrs. Kennedy came forward.
And I could see blood on her dress where she cradled the President’s head in her lap.
And she said, “Let them see what they have done.”
The paranoia in the atmosphere that was gripping Dallas.
Who was this guy?
I drove Lee Harvey Oswald to work at Texas School Book Depository.
I had to stay with Mrs. Kennedy.
I hadn’t handled a lot of it very well.
On November 22nd, 1963, the United States lost its innocence.
