Directed by Emile de Antonio • 1967 • United States
This bombshell documentary presents a simple, concise legal argument that the Warren Commission was hiding something and that Lee Harvey Oswald could not have single-handedly killed President John F. Kennedy. Director Emile de Antonio and lawyer Mark Lane recorded unpolished, firsthand interviews from witnesses with direct proximity to the assassinations of both Kennedy and Oswald—but who were not given a platform in the official inquiry. For a subject that has been long sensationalized, RUSH TO JUDGMENT offers fresh clarity while laying out a coolheaded argument.
