    An important document and a tragic history
    If you haven't got the opoortunity to see Lincoln Carle and Mark Lane's documentary "Two Men in Dallas" released in the late 1970's and one of the very first films to deal with the Kennedy assassination and telling about an alternative version of events surrounding the killing of the president, then you can watch this film as well since both cover the exact same theme, but with different running times. This one is edited from the other film and mostly it presents just the testimony of Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig, witness to JFK's assassination and one of the first police officers on duty to respond about the incident that took place after the shooting.

    While "Two Men in Dallas" covers Mark Lane's own investigation about the case, including new evidences at the time, this film here presents Mr. Craig only, from November 22, 1963 and then follows him as one of the first people to identify Lee Harvey Oswald as being near the crime site, but at the same time Craig also tells us about the rifle found at the book depository, which was later changed during the course of investigation and inclusion on the Warren Report (a Luger rifle that later became a Mannlicher Carcano with the bullets from the former. Crazy huh?). And the darkest part of the interview with Craig is when he mentions about attempts to his life in the years that followed. Even though he appeared on television on the day of the tragedy, he wasn't selected or interviewed by the Warren Comission and the conspirators or whoever was after him only started to notice him when his name appeared on the book "Rush to Judgement", written by Mark Lane, who conducted a thorough investigation supplying facts that a conspiracy took place instead of just one lonely wolf being the sole killer of the president.

    It's all thrilling and saddening to hear about - since I had seen the first film there wasn't much of a urgency or anything new to be seen - except for the part where whenever a name of people involved in the investigation or such was presented instead of just seeing the talking head we got the photos of each people that Craig knew. That was an interesting device that works and it's a lot better than the previous film just because of that, since just seeing the man talking is kinda tiring. But as said earlier, if you haven't seen the other film than you'll find yourself easily caught up by its power and informations since it reveals plenty of shady and mysterious things about one of the most important historical events in America and one that shaped a whole nation for decades to come. There's plenty of truth in here and for conspiracy theorists this is a delight and must-see because they'll find solid evidences that can prove something really odd was going on back in those days. It's a pity Oliver Stone's movie didn't cover this man. He was an integral part for building Jim Garrison's case against Clay Shaw. What a tragic figure Mr. Craig was. 9/10.
