“The death of JFK continues to be a defining moment in US history and the loss of this visionary man is still felt around the world,” commented Stone. “Being able to present my film now on Blu-ray magnifies the story I was trying to tell.”

Upon examining the Warren Commission report on President Kennedy’s assassination, New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison suspects that there is more to the story than the public is being told.
