The Missing JFK Assassination Film

The Mystery Surrounding the Orville Nix Home Movie of November 22, 1963

By: Gayle Nix Jackson

Narrated by: Lydia Mackay

Length: 7 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's summary

The Missing JFK Assassination Film is not the typical JFK assassination book. This book does not attempt to answer the question of who killed John F. Kennedy; instead it addresses why we should question the actions of those involved and why the truth was withheld from the people. Though copies of Orville Nix's film exist, the original film is missing. Why? The FBI confiscated Orville's camera for several months, then returned it in pieces. Were these actions sinister, or were they just examples of governmental incompetence?

The Missing JFK Assassination Film exposes information about the House Select Committee staff's involvement in the missing film. Author Gayle Nix Jackson's interviews with people who were close to Orville and the film will shed light on the government's involvement with the filmmaker.

Gayle Nix Jackson is the granddaughter of Orville Nix. As his eldest granddaughter, Nix Jackson shares experiences growing up with her beloved grandfather and how his views changed after that fatal day. Hearing his story precipitated the quest Jackson is still on to find the film. Her grandfather was there that day for a reason, and if the original Nix film could be located, modern-day technology could determine if there was indeed another person behind the stockade fence or not. Questions still abound today as to whether or not the film was altered. Finding the original Nix film would answer one of the most enduring questions related to this horrific event: Was there a conspiracy to kill John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963?

must read

its great read. very informative. it really has you really thinking about what really happened.

Pretty Much More of the Same

This is a conspiracy book, plain and simple. While the story of Orville Nix is a very interesting one, most of this is colored by the author’s very obvious biases. There are also some issues with some clear hindsight conversations that literally could not have happened when the author says they did. Example, the night of the assassination when they refer to Oswald saying he was a patsy. That hadn’t happened yet. If the author is wrong or misleading about little things, how do you trust the big things?

The author is definitely not a fan of LBJ, no question.

Chalking up everything that happened at any point that day to possible conspiracy is a bit much.

Interesting book but not to be taken too seriously.

Excellent

I thought this was a real eye opening book. I really enjoyed it. Excellent performance and story. Must read or listen.

More questions

This is filled with facts that should have been given to us in the mid to late sixties. I offer my gratitude to Gayle Nix Jackson for writing this book. Further gratitude to whomever chose to have Lydia Mackay narrate it. She made it come alive.

Trusting people or agencies with your property is foolish

Sad, that the government cannot be trusted. Good book. Good read. The JFK assassination was the end of our republic as the founders intended.

the Other JFK Assn. film!

i had heard of the Nix film before but TV programs showed a grainy, jerky long-distance film that seemed interesting but unimportant. this book brings out the details showing it to be much more important than realized. Listen to this book!

nostalgia for Grandpa and a good story.

I especially liked the description of the life details of Orville and Ella, as well.as the awareness of disparate treatment of the two films. really weird about the connection between de Morenschield (sp?) and Mr. Zepruder.

Where is chapter 10?

Not sure if it's how my file downloads, but, I got two chapter 11s, and no 10. Was it cut for national security reasons? Who knows? Like whatever happens in chapter 10, I sure as hell don't!

Another book that adds to the conspiracy.

Lots to take in but overall enjoyed the book. Just another conspiracy to add to the already massive story in our history.

Excellent

This is a very important book for any serious assassination researcher, as well as being heartfelt, very well written and illuminating.
