On Nov 22, 1963, ABRAHAM ZAPRUDER stood on a concrete pedestal along Elm Street in Dealey Plaza…using a Model 414 PD Bell & Howell Camera to film.
Zapruder started filming when JFK’s limo turned onto ELM STREET from Houston Street. He was with his Secretary, Marilyn Sitzman.
He continued to film until the limo went under a railroad bridge.
The film was 26.6 seconds in length.
There were 486 FRAMES!
Remember ☝️this number.
THE EVENT WAS FILMED IN COLOR!!

DAN RATHER from CBS was the first to report on the assassination after (allegedly)seeing Zapruder’s film.
CBS and LIFE magazine put in bids to purchase the film from Abraham Zapruder on NOVEMBER 23rd…the after the assassination.
LIFE MAGAZINE won the bid for $150,000. But they didn’t take possession until Monday November 25th. Pocket this.
WATCH THIS 90 second film!!

Dan Rather and the Zapruder Film
This video clip includes a "play-by-play" narration of the Zapruder film. During the narration, Rather claims that President Kennedy's head "went forward with considerable violence." However, the actual film of the assassination shows the complete opposite.…

The inconsistencies in what Dan Rather reported started all the conspiracy theories about the shooting. Multiple shooters? Was it the Mafia…or the CIA…or LBJ…or Castro,…or the KGB, etc.?
Was DAN RATHER following a script?

LIFE MAGAZINE released 30 frames of the Zapruder film a week after the assassination…in their NOVEMBER 29th, 1963 issue.
Why did they publish the frames of the Zapruder film in black and white?
Remember, it was filmed in color.

Why did LIFE MAGAZINE first publish frames from the Zapruder film in black and white…then in later issues switch to color…which it was originally filmed in?

What was the chain of custody of the film?
Upon returning to his office. Abraham Zapruder encountered “Dallas Morning News” reporter, Harry McCormick. McCormick then contacted Secret Service Agent, Forrest Sorrels.
The three brought the film to local tv station WFAA, where Zapruder went on air to describe what he saw.
At the same time Eastman Kodak's Dallas film processing facility developed the film, and Jamieson Film Company produced 3 copies
…THEN…

Zapruder gave two of the copies to Secret Service Agent Sorrels. Those two copies were sent to Washington.

What about the SECRET SERVICE Zapruder film copies? Remember…the Secret Service had 2 copies.
One of the first-generation Secret Service copies was loaned to the FBI in Washington, D.C.
The FBI also made a copy of the film.
The WARREN COMMISSION studied a copy of that copy…in January 1964.
The WARREN COMMISSION judged that the quality of that film (copy of a copy) to be inadequate…so they requested the original film.
