As hard as it is to believe, it has been 60 years since United States President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, a day that just about Americans who were alive at the time would never forget. That being said, with more than a half-century having passed, finding and securing updated eyewitness accounts from those on the ground that fateful afternoon presented a huge obstacle that the producers of the 2023 TV series JFK: One Day in America had to overcome.
In an interview prior to the release of the National Geographic Channel project, CinemaBlend spoke with producers David Glover and Charlotte Rodrigues, as well as director Ella Wright, about the three-part docuseries. We discussed the decision to avoid conspiracy theories, and the challenges the creative team faced when getting all the eyewitness testimony.
