Director Rob Reiner and journalist Soledad O’Brien have dug into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 60 years after the assassination, people still wonder about the event and theories continue to emerge about who was behind JFK's death.
Rainer and O'Brien claim they have found evidence about who was really behind the killing. They host “Who Killed JFK?”, a 10-part podcast series that premiered in November and features interviews with authors, witnesses, CIA officials, and forensic experts as part of their investigation.
The podcast also includes an interview with a former Secret Service agent who earlier this year came forward with “groundbreaking new evidence,” according to iHeartMedia, which is distributing the series.
Their investigation tells them that Lee Harvey Oswald, who was charged with JFK’s assassination but claimed he was a “patsy,” did not act alone.
Reiner claims there were U.S. government officials, including at the CIA, who were behind the plot to murder JFK and that President Lyndon B. Johnson participated in covering up the conspiracy, and that individuals who have attempted to expose the truth about the assassination were themselves killed.
Other events of the 1960s also play roles in the plot, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Civil Rights Movement.
Reiner, after starring in All in the Family, has gone on to direct movies including This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, Misery, A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride. His films also include LBJ and 2017’s Shock and Awe, which his bio says “exposed the lies that led to the U.S. invasion of Iraq.”
O’Brien has anchored shows on CNN, MSNBC, NBC and CBS. She currently anchors and produces Matter of Fact With Soledad O’Brien, a Hearst political TV magazine program. Recent productions by her Soledad O’Brien Productions company include Peabody-Award-winning documentary, “The Rebellious Life of Rosa Parks,” which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and streams on Peacock, and multipart series “Black and Missing,” which won the Independent Spirit and NAACP awards and streams on HBO.
