Top Documentary FilmsThis timeless shockumentary (made in 1982 and restricted 18+) has never been released, distributed, televised nor made available for sale in the USA. America is the only industrialized nation with a higher murder rate than countries ravaged by civil wars, like Cambodia or Nicaragua. There is an attempted murder every 3 minutes and murder victim every 20 minutes. Japan, England and West Germany with a combined population equal to America have 6,000 murders a year and America has 27,000 a year.
In the first 80 years of the 20th century America has had more than a million murders, more than all her fatalities in all her wars. No place seems safe not even the street; no person feels safe not even the president. Not long ago the American Dream seemed to come true: big cars, big houses, big everything. But not everyone could get an equal share of the dream. Though it seemed impossible they existed side by side – America the beautiful and America the violent. The turning point was November 22, 1963, the day the American Dream of freedom was wedded to the American Nightmare of murder, the day when John Kennedywas assassinated.
Martin Luther King tried to heal the sickness of racial hatred and won the Nobel Prize for urging a violent land to turn away from violence, but the answer he got was more violence. On April 4, 1968 Dr. King was assassinated. The murder of Martin Luther King triggered riots in 125 cities. Police needed the help of 45,000 soldiers as the government fought a war with its own people. Then another series of battle lines was created by the growing hatred of the war in Vietnam.
George Wallace had a good chance to defeat Richard Nixon until one day in Maryland, May 15, 1972. Wounded four times Wallace survived and was confined to a wheelchair for life losing the chance to be elected. Though hard to believe, presidential elections were then being decided by killers.
Robert Kennedy appealed to young and old, black and white, students and workers, and he was trying to end the violence that began with the murder of his brother. On June 14, 1968 he has won the California Primary and after he finished his victory speech he was shot three times and he died in the hospital.

Good job Scott on the documentary posts…
I didn’t watch the movie, but from what’s written here, I’m guessing that it has an anti-violence and gun control message written into the script.
You should watch it, there are so many similarities from then to today.
President Johnson and the way he talks about banning guns, lone gun killers at or near schools, the most bizarre of all I thought was when Charles Manson was being questioned, was the camera was on one of his cult followers and she was mouthing the same words he was answering word for word, like it was scripted.
Interesting to now look back on these events, seeing how the psychopaths calling the shots set up similar scenarios time after time. There’s a whole lot of programming going on, then and now, and we’ve been played like an orchestra ad nauseam.
Could someone here answer a question for me? My knowledge of guns is limited. All the witnesses said Sirhan was three to six feet in front of RFK. How was he able to shoot Bobby at close range behind his ear?
Because Sirhan did not fire that shot. Simple as that!
