Recounting the chaotic events that occurred in Dallas, Texas on
November 22, 1963, “Parkland” weaves together the perspectives
of a handful of ordinary individuals suddenly thrust into extraordinary
circumstances: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital;
Dallas’ chief of the Secret Service; an unwitting cameraman who
captured what became the most watched and examined film in
history; the FBI agents who nearly had the gunman within their
grasp; the brother of Lee Harvey Oswald, left to deal with his
shattered family; and JFK’s security team, witnesses to both the
president’s death and Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s rise to power
over a nation whose innocence was forever altered.
“Parkland” is based on the book “Four Days In November,” by
renowned author and former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi.
