Description
The Zapruder Film: A Family's Legacy Abraham Zapruder's spontaneous decision to capture the Kennedy motorcade on film on November 22, 1963, had a profound impact on his family and the world. Originally intended as a home movie, the footage of the JFK assassination has become an iconic representation of citizen journalism, referenced in popular culture and studied in American history classes. This book tells the complete story of the film's journey through history, tracing its impact on society as it navigated the challenges of a rapidly changing media landscape. With exclusive access to the Zapruder family's records, memories, and documents, Alexandra Zapruder sheds new light on the film's complicated legacy and its enduring influence on our understanding of politics, culture, and media. Part biography, part family history, and part historical narrative, this book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of politics, culture, and media, and the ways in which one man's moment in the spotlight continues to shape our world today.
