Wednesday, November 22, 2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Rush to Judgment, the 1967 film directed by Emile de Antonio in collaboration with lawyer and author Mark Lane, tore apart the credibility of the Warren Commission’s assertion of a lone actor, Lee Harvey Oswald, in the 1963 tragedy.

De Antonio and Lane filmed unpolished, first-hand interviews with witnesses with direct proximity to the murders, but who were not given a platform in the official inquiry.

For a subject that has been rehashed and sensationalized so many times in the past six decades, this classic documentary exposes the inconsistencies of the Warren Report and presents a cool-headed argument that is untouched by time. This recent restoration presents the film with its full running time.

Director: Emile de Antonio
(US 1967) 124 minutes.
