The Kennedy Assassination: 24 Hours After
Premieres Sunday @ 9pm, 21 November 2010
Synopsis:
While the moments and hours after John F. Kennedy’s tragic assassination were some of the most formative and important for our country, that story has rarely, and only partially, been told.
With time as a central storytelling device, HISTORY reexamines this pivotal day in history, using stunning details found in newly public documents to reveal a vice president thrust into the role of commander-in-chief and left to make critical decisions with limited information. From the moment Lyndon B. Johnson was told of JFK’s death (after a security aide had already ordered a casket), to his decision to take the oath of office on Air Force One alongside the former First Lady (before getting her approval), to the return to his home for a full briefing of what happened that day (long after it was televised to the world), 24 Hours After uncovers an unfamiliar story born out of one of the most critical days in American history.
