Virtual JFK
Virtual JFK investigates one of the most debated 'what if' scenarios in the history of U.S. foreign policy: What would President John F. Kennedy have done in Vietnam if he had not been assassinated in 1963, and had been re-elected in 1964? The resulting film employs what Harvard historian Niall Ferguson calls "virtual history" assessing the plausibility of counterfactuals - 'what ifs' - and the outcomes they might have produced. The film makes use of an array of resources including recently declassified and never-before-seen archival footage, documents, and audio tapes, and testimony from a critical oral history conference including Kennedy and Johnson administration officials. The heart of the film deals with the question: Does it matter who is president on issues of war and peace? (80m)
