On November 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated while being driven in a presidential motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Parkland recreates that tragic day taking the point of view of a number of individuals caught up in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, among them Abraham Zapruder, who fatefully filmed the assassination; and Lee Harvey Oswald’s brother. With an outstanding ensemble cast, director Peter Landesman weaves together stories that imagine how people were affected at this
moment in history. Useful for Leaving Certificate History Topic 6: The United States and the World, 1945-1989
