Production

The opening credits indicate that "certain scenes have been recreated in the original locations by the actual participants".[5] Some of these recreations include:

  • Buell Wesley Frazier driving himself and Lee Harvey Oswald to work at the Texas School Book Depository on the morning of November 22. This scene includes commentary from Frazier and his sister Linnie Mae Randle who saw Oswald arrive at their house and place a package (in which Oswald told Frazier it contained curtain rods but really had the murder weapon) in Frazier's car to take to work.
  • Oswald's post-shooting trek from the Texas School Book Depository to the Texas Theater. This segment includes commentary from cab driver William Whaley, who picked Oswald up and took him to his rooming house on North Beckley.
  • Jack Ruby's path from his apartment to the Dallas City Jail on the morning of November 24
