Directed by Barbara Shearer (Loving Elvis), the film reveals startling medical observations about JFK's wounds when seven doctors who were in the Parkland Hospital ER reunite to discuss a day none of them can forget. In never-before-seen footage from this reunion, the doctors share in vivid detail their indelible memories of what they did and saw in Trauma Room 1. Several of those doctors there that day remain certain that what they saw looked like an entry wound -- a bullet hole in JFK's throat -- an observation that contradicts what Americans have been told by numerous official investigations. This revelation would indicate that someone shot the President from the front, challenging the decades-old government narrative that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. JFK: WHAT THE DOCTORS SAW also examines the inconsistencies and gaps that plagued the official autopsy, raising even more questions about how many bullets hit the President and what damage they caused, leaving viewers with the looming question: Was there more than one shooter?

Natalia Winkelman New York Times I’m willing to bet that viewers drawn to this documentary will have a basic knowledge of the history. It is smart, then, that this film so clearly defines its scope. Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle These are men in their 70s and 80s, with serious medical careers behind them, who seem neither deluded nor mendacious. Rated: 3/4 Nov 14, 2023 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies We might never know what really happened but JFK: What the Doctors Saw examines all the evidence with first-hand testimony. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Robin Holabird Robin Holabird What the Doctors Saw offers no new answers, instead standing as yet another chapter in a case that refuses to close.

Davey M Too bad those Doctors were silenced! If there is any interest in the story of JFK, a MUST SEE! Well thought out with terrific collaboration from all that were involved in this documentary. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Goran M If you look closely at The Zapruder Film, you will clearly see that there were at least 3 shooters. Anyone with any experience in ballistics will tell you this. So, the JFK was an inside job, just like 9/11, and just like Gulf of Tonkin incident, and just like "Moon landing"...
