The documentary JFK: What the Doctors Saw offers a behind the scenes look at the day President John F. Kennedy was shot as his motorcade was traveling through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas. The documentary will premiere on Paramount+ on November 14, 2023, just days ahead of the 60th anniversary of JFK’s assassination.
Barbara Shearer (Loving Elvis) directed and serves as an executive producer with Jacque Lueth, Bill Garnet, and Lucky Elephant Media’s Adam Somer, Cheryl Leib, Joseph Leib, and Joseph Marvel. See It Now Studios’ Susan Zirinsky and Terence Wrong also executive produce along with Guy Davies.
Paramount+ released this description of the documentary:
“The film reveals startling medical observations about JFK’s wounds when seven doctors who were in the Parkland Hospital ER reunite to discuss a day none of them can forget. In never-before-seen footage from this reunion, the doctors share in vivid detail their indelible memories of what they did and saw in Trauma Room 1.
Several of those doctors there that day remain certain that what they saw looked like an entry wound – a bullet hole in JFK’s throat – an observation that contradicts what Americans have been told by numerous official investigations. This revelation would indicate that someone shot the President from the front, challenging the decades-old government narrative that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
JFK: What the Doctors Saw also examines the inconsistencies and gaps that plagued the official autopsy, raising even more questions about how many bullets hit the President and what damage they caused, leaving viewers with the looming question: Was there more than one shooter?”
