Get ready to witness the 20th Century's most damaging and outrageous assassination attempts, first-hand. From the assassination of John F Kennedy to the gunning down of Mahatma Gandhi, the tragic shooting of John Lennon to the brutal bombing of one of Hitler's henchmen, this series brings you as close to the killers as the cameramen themselves - which sometimes means just a few feet. Using rare archive footage and reconstructions, each episode focuses on a different story, from attacks on royalty, politicians and guerrilla leaders to media personalities who all, for one reason or another, stepped in the way of an assassin determined to bring their life to an end. Many of their motives have remained shrouded in mystery. Until now ... By 22 November 1963, the date of his assassination, President Kennedy had made many enemies. He had declared war on the Mafia, racial prejudice and the industrial/military interest in Vietnam. He had humiliated Khrushchev and Castro, who both wanted revenge over the Cuban Missile Crisis. To this day, conjecture surrounds the ballistics evidence and whether multiple assassins were involved. New film material from Washington has just been released.
producer/directors, Jonathan Martin, Nicolas Wright ; produced by Nugus/Martin Productions Ltd. for BBC Worldwide Ltd.
