Melanie McFarland Salon.com 11/07/2023
This is the rare production that enables us to psychologically travel into that memory and feel something that isn’t unduly manipulated, to feel genuinely present for once in this history instead of taking it in as a spectacle. Go to Full Review

It may not have been the intent of director Ella Wright to play such psychological mischief with our collective memory, but it works. Go to Full Review

Big M 02/24/2024 I found this series utterly amazing, though I wish it had been a 2-hour documentary instead. In any case, what's so amazing about this is that it's 100% * actual film footage, and * voices of the eyewitnesses who were intimately involved at the time. How rare - no voiceovers, no hosts. The story is entirely actual footage and memories from those involved. It was riveting. I watched it twice. I was VERY young when it happened so I also really loved the old styles.

See more klr d 11/10/2023 Solidly constructed docu-series. It's not engrossing, but it does a good job of taking you back to '63 Dallas. See more Haydn K 11/08/2023 The series is well put together, but it's just a painfully slow version of how the news was broadcast, nothing more. Asks zero questions about the greatest cold case of all time. Avoid if you are looking for answers. See more Eddy W 11/07/2023 Loved it loads of unseen footage. See more Ann K 11/07/2023 Compared to the Nat Geo 9/11 One day in America, the JFK doc paled in comparison. There were so many stories that converged on that day that weren't mentioned. The 9/11 doc was detailed and extremely riveting. A missed opportunity here. See more Read all reviews
