Jack Anderson : JFK , the Mob

In a career that spans over five decades, Jack Anderson has earned a reputation as one of the most respected and accomplished investigative journalists in America. In this remarkable program, Anderson details his close relationship with John F. Kennedy and tells of his belief that the Mafia was involved in his assassination. Anderson's theory of Mob involvement in JFK's death is bolstered by his close contacts with important Mob bosses in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, and his revelations of organized crime's relationships with Castro, Cuba, and the CIA. Extensive footage documents the relationships that Anderson claims were at the heart of the tragedy, and interviews with former Anderson sources shed light on the theory. Revisit the discoveries that led Anderson to the troubling conclusion that has been embraced by conspiracy theorists worldwide, and see how others have worked to further the investigation. And in a rare interview, director Oliver Stone tells how Anderson's work influenced his Academy-Award winning JFK.
