JFK: The Smoking Gun (ATOM Study Guide)

JFK: The Smoking Gun (Malcolm Mcdonald, 2013) is a feature documentary that breaks new ground in the case of President John F. Kennedy's murder fifty years ago by presenting evidence amassed by two highly qualified experts during multi-year investigations into Kennedy's assassination.

Using dramatic re-enactments, interviews, CGI and archival footage, the documentary details the work done by Howard Donahue, a Baltimore gunsmith, marksman and firearms expert who spent twenty-five years conducting his own inquiry into President Kennedy's death. Donahue examined the ballistic and forensic evidence including the trajectories and performance of the bullets fired, and concluded that the shot that struck Kennedy in the head did not come from Lee Harvey Oswald but from a second shooter.

JFK: The Smoking Gun has curriculum relevance to middle-secondary studies of History.
