Summary of JFK: The Day the Nation Cried

Combining the tragedy of John F. Kennedy's untimely death at the hands of Lee Harvey Oswald, with the remembrances of those who knew him best, and those who did not know him not at all but were affected and inspired by his life, this film allows us to see the events of his final days as they happened, from JFK's arrival in Dallas to his funeral in Washington four days later.

Also included are excerpts from the Abraham Zapruder television interview & film, and JFK's many speeches (campaign and inauguration, Cuban missile crisis, equality & civil rights, & the Soviet speech at American University, among others), along with discussions concerning Lee Harvey Oswald, The Texas School Book Depository, and Jack Ruby. Other topics include establishing the Peace Corps and the Alliance for Progress, the Bay of Pigs, Cuban leader Fidel Castro, Communism, his marriage to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize winning book Profiles in Courage.

As seen on TV, this film, JFK: The Day the Nation Cried, rediscovers President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, one of America's most beloved and tragic icons, who provided Americans with an unyielding message of hope and opportunity that has lived long beyond his untimely passing.
