Instead of examining the immediate aftermath of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, a forthcoming documentary will shed new light on the tragedy by exploring the hours that preceded the president's death.

JFK: The Final Hours, which airs November 8 at 8pm, portrays the president not as the legend he's become but as the man he was before his murder. First-hand accounts from people who were among the last to see him alive describe their remarkable brushes with history.

Among those first-hand accounts in the film, is that of narrator Bill Paxton who, at 8-years-old, was in the crowd in Fort Worth where Kennedy gave one of his last public speeches just three hours before his death.
