    Finally the Truth
    This film his shined the light on the secrets hidden for so long. It is so prevalent with todays politics. I have always thought that there was more to what happened to Kennedy, and the pure lack of any real investigation has cemented my original opinion. The facts that are shown in The Commission are indisputable. There was a cover up. I am even more convinced that Johnson was involved more deeply than many will want to admit. This was an amazing cast, and I can see why they all wanted to be part of this film. I am incredibly excited to see the final version and hope that this film finally closes this chapter in American history. This film shows what truly happens behind closed doors. Thank you Mr. Sobel for finally showing the truth.
